repeatability of knee and hip scores

[Karen Sloan]

Dear Readers,

We are to embark on a repeatability study of the Harris Hip score,
used to assess hip joint replacements and the Knee Society Score,
used to assess knee joint replacements as part of a larger project.

I have searched high and low and have found very few papers that
have looked at the repeatability of these scores, either between
different assessers or between the same assesser doing the
measurement twice. Does anyone know of any articles?


Thanks for your time.
