1 Before you use it
What it is
Metadata only. Twelve items on hip pain and function over the past four weeks, developed for total hip replacement outcome assessment and now used far beyond it.
You will see this in every arthroplasty letter, so read it fluently.
When to reach for it
When someone else has administered it. For your own baseline use HOOS or HOOS-12.

Scoring
Twelve items, 0–4, totalling 0–48. Higher is better in the current scoring; an older 12–60 reversed convention exists. Check which one a letter is quoting.
What it doesn’t measure
Sport demand, groin-specific function, or strength.
3 Reading the score
Interpreting it
Is the change real?
Student trap. Reading a 12–60 score as a 0–48 one. Two conventions, opposite directions.
