Hip Outcome Score

The Hip Outcome Score (HOS) is a 29-item patient self-report instrument designed to measure symptoms, functional limitations, and activity restrictions in individuals with hip disorders. Originally developed and published by Philippon, Kelly, and Martin in 2006 in Arthroscopy, the HOS has become the standard outcome measure in hip arthroscopy, hip preservation surgery, and hip rehabilitation research, providing comprehensive assessment of pain, function in daily activities, and return-to-sport capability in hip-specific populations.
