Abstract 

In the UK the Department of Health published a report earlier this year entitled ‘High Quality Care For All’ which requires that all hospitals must collect and publish surgical outcome data by 2010, including post-operative complication rates, surgical site infection rates and patient-centered quality-of-life assessments. This paper gives an overview of the outcome measures used to assess interventions on the hip.

Keywords: outcome measures, quality of life, questionnaires
