    Introduction/objectives Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a common condition impacting quality of life by limiting daily activities. This study aimed to translate and culturally adapt the Knee Quality of Life 26-item (KQoL-26) questionnaire into Turkish and assess its validity and reliability in individuals with knee OA. Method The study included 182 patients with primary knee OA. Its comprehensibility was piloted with 10 patients and 10 healthcare professionals. Patients provided demographic and clinical information and completed the Short Form-36 (SF-36), Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and the Turkish KQoL-26. SF-36, KOOS, and WOMAC assessed the construct validity of the KQoL-26. To measure test-retest reliability, the KQoL-26 was re-administered after three days. Results The KQoL-26 demonstrated high internal consistency with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.965. Subscale alpha values were 0.945 (physical functioning), 0.915 (activity limitations), and 0.903 (emotional functioning). Test-retest analysis revealed Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) values from 0.791 to 0.954 for items and 0.948 to 0.963 for subscales. The KQoL-26 scores correlated positively with SF-36 and KOOS and negatively with WOMAC (p < 0.001). Conclusion The Turkish KQoL-26 is a valid and reliable tool for assessing knee-related quality of life in knee OA patients.

    Is it necessary to use a sling or abduction pillow sling after superior rotator cuff repair? A preliminary report
    (2024) Pepe, Ismail Murad; Sahbat, Yavuz; Çalışal, Emre; Yılmaz, Selçuk; Topcuoglu, İsmet Aslı; Aracı, Ayça; Erdoganoglu, Yildiz
    Objectives: The study aimed to evaluate the effects of the use of a shoulder sling, shoulder sling with a pillow, or not using a sling on the shoulder functional score and pain levels following arthroscopic rotator cuff tear repair. Patients and methods: This randomized prospective study was performed with 90 patients (49 males, 41 females; mean age: 56.2±12.2 year; range, 33 to 77 years) with a small-to-mid, full-thickness rotator cuff tear between July 2020 and October 2022. All patients underwent arthroscopic double-row repair. The nonsling group wore no sling, the sling group wore a sling, and the abduction pillow sling group wore a sling with an abduction pillow. The same rehabilitation program was performed. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score, Constant-Murley scores, and degrees of f lexion and abduction were recorded preoperatively, on the 15th and 45th days, and at three months, six months, and one year. Results: On the 15th postoperative day, the VAS score was found to be significantly lower in the nonsling group. On the 45th day, the Constant-Murley score was found to be significantly higher in the abduction pillow sling group. There was no significant difference between the groups regarding the Constant-Murley scores at three weeks, six months, and one year. The shoulder forward flexion angle was significantly lower in the nonsling group on the 45th day. There was no significant difference between the three groups in respect of the shoulder forward flexion at three months, six months, and one year. Conclusion: No difference was determined between the groups at the six-month and one-year functional results. Not using a sling bandage can be recommended by reducing pain in the early postoperative period.
