Abstract :Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the validation and verification of the Nottingham Clavicle Score insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NCS); in the Turkish population. Methods: Sixty-eight patients insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(12 females, 56 males; mean age: 37.1±13.3 years); who underwent surgery due to clavicle fracture or acromioclavicular separation were included in the study. The Turkish version of the NCS insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NCS-Tr); was designed in accordance with the stages recommended by Beaton et al. Each patient completed the NCS-Tr twice at 7 to 10-day intervals to evaluate the test-retest reliability based on the interrater correlation coefficient, and Cronbach’s alpha was evaluated for internal consistency. Additionally, the Oxford Shoulder Score insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(OSS);, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(DASH);, Constant-Murley Score insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CMS);, and Short Form-36 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SF-36); Health Survey tests were completed by each participant to assess the correlation with the NCS-Tr. Results: The main score of the NCS-Tr was 79.71 ± 20.37. The other mean scores of CMS, OSS, and DASH were 84.14 ± 21.47, 38.34 ± 12.43, and 17.84 ± 22.47 respectively. The translation and adaptation of the NCS-Tr for a Turkish context required no major cultural adaptation. Internal consistency was high insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Cronbach’s alpha: 0.933);. Test-retest reproducibility was excellent insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(q=0.941, p<0.001);. Conclusion: The NCS-Tr is a valid, reliable, shoulder-specific scale in the assessment of patient-reported outcome measures for the functional assessment of Turkish patients undergoing surgery due to clavicle fractures or acromioclavicular joint separation.
