Primary outcome measure(s)
Harris Hip Score (HHS) — 12 months Harris Hip Score (HHS) is an outcome measure for hip-related symptoms. The score is based on both patient-reported information and clinical examination, and is administered by a qualified health care professional. It covers four domains: Pain, function, absence of deformity and range of motion. The score ranges from 0 (worst) to 100 (best).
