The Oxford shoulder score revisited
The vali date d ,  patient-reported Oxford shoulder score ( OSS ) was introduced around 10 years ago , primarily for the assessment of outcomes of  shoulder surgery ( excluding shoulder stabilisation )  in r and omised trials . Its uptake has steadily increased in a number of countries and its use has also been extended . Recently a number of issues have been raised in relation to other related patient-reported outcome measures which were devised around the same time as the OSS . This included recommendations to change the scoring system . This paper review s issues concerning patient-reported outcome measures that apply to the OSS and makes some recommendations ( including changes to the scoring system ) as to how it should be used
