Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Objective: Knee diseases present variable consequences for an individual’s function and quality of life. For the purposes of translating, validating and checking the measurement properties of the specific questionnaire for knee symptoms - the “Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale” - into the regional language Marathi of Maharashtra state in India. Methodology: We selected, for convenience, 60 patients (49 males and 11 females, mean age = 41.4 years) with knee injuries (tibia fracture treated with interlocking nail patellar split approach, meniscal injury, anterior cruciate ligament injury). Results: Reproducibility and ordinal consistency inter- and intra-interviewer were excellent. The nominal consistency inter-interviewers was good (Kappa = 0.72) and intra-interviewer was excellent (Kappa = 0.86). During validation process, we correlated the Lysholm questionnaire with the pain numerical scale (r=-0.6; p=0.001). Conclusion: We concluded that the translation and cultural adaptation of the “Lysholm knee scoring scale” into our language have proven to be reproducible and valid in patients with tibia fracture treated with interlocking nail patellar split approach, meniscal injury and anterior cruciate ligament injury.
