Oxford (medical term)

Oxford (pronounced: /ˈɒksfərd/) is a term used in the medical field, particularly in relation to the Oxford Knee Score and the Oxford Hip Score, which are patient-reported outcome measures used to assess the results of knee and hip surgeries, respectively.

Etymology

The term "Oxford" in this context is derived from the University of Oxford, where these scoring systems were developed.

Oxford Knee Score

The Oxford Knee Score (OKS) is a 12-item questionnaire designed to assess function and pain in patients who have undergone total knee replacement (TKR) surgery. Each item is scored from 0 to 4, with 4 indicating severe problems and 0 indicating no problems. The total score ranges from 0 to 48, with lower scores indicating better knee function.

Oxford Hip Score

The Oxford Hip Score (OHS) is a similar patient-reported outcome measure used to assess function and pain in patients who have undergone total hip replacement (THR) surgery. Like the OKS, the OHS consists of 12 items, each scored from 0 to 4, with lower scores indicating better hip function.
