Abstract

Objective To translate into Brazilian Portuguese and to cross-culturally adapt the Banff Questionnaire for Patellar Instability.

Methods The translation and cross-cultural adaptation followed the linguistic validation process proposed by international guidelines, which consists of six steps: translation, synthesis, back-translation, review by an expert committee, pretest, and final report presentation to the authors of the original questionnaire. Literate patients with recurrent patellar instability, older than 12 years of age, who signed the informed consent form or had it signed by a legal guardian were included in the study. Patients with neurological or systemic comorbidities were excluded from the study.

Results A total of 62 patients (18 males and 44 females) were included in the study. Discrepancies observed during the processes of translation and harmonization of the back-translations were modified with no need for reformulation. No pretest version replacements were required.

Conclusion The Banff Questionnaire for Patellar Instability has been successfully translated and cross-culturally adapted into Brazilian Portuguese, so it can be used to assess patients with patellar instability who speak this language.
