The Forgotten Joint Score-12 (FJS-12) is an important tool for assessing the effectiveness of treatment of patients after large joint arthroplasty. Its main advantage is its sensitivity to the patient's subjective perception of the artificial joint, which makes it extremely useful for assessing the level of comfort after surgery. Objective. To perform an official translation of the Forgotten Joint Score-12 scale into Ukrainian, to conduct its adaptation and validation among patients who have undergone knee or hip arthroplasty. The translation was carried out within the framework of official cooperation with Forgotten Joint Scores (BGGK GmbH, Switzerland) in accordance with international standards Good Practice for the Translation and Cultural Adaptation Process for Patient-Reported Outcomes (PRO) Measures. Results. The pilot testing was conducted among 20 patients and was aimed at identifying the clarity of the questions, ease of completion and time required to complete the survey. That is why this scale allows to assess the degree of awareness of the presence of a joint implant in everyday life, is an important addition to existing methods of studying the results of treatment. Conclusions. Due to its unique approach, the FJS-12 allows for a more accurate assessment of the results of arthroplasty, which contributes to the improvement of surgical techniques, optimisation of rehabilitation programmes and improvement of the level of medical care. Its Ukrainian-language version is now available for use in clinical practice and scientific research in our country, which will contribute to a more objective assessment of the effectiveness of treatment of patients after total arthroplasty. This also opens up new opportunities for international cooperation, as it allows Ukrainian researchers to use unified assessment methods and compare their results with those of their colleagues.
