Abstract: The present study aimed to demonstrate the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Knee Society Score-Short Form in individuals before and after total knee arthroplasty. A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted with 112 participants (67 pre-operative, 45 post-operative). Participants were evaluated with Knee Society Score-Short Form, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and Short Form-36 (SF-36) in the initial assessment. Forty-two participants refilled the Knee Society Score-Short Form one week later. Test-retest reliability and internal consistency of the Knee Society Score-Short Form (total score and items) were high (ICC: 0.84-0.96, α: 0.68-0.82). Knee Society Score-Short Form demonstrated a single factor in Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) (0.30-0.87). There was a high correlation between Knee Society Score-Short Form and WOMAC (r: -0.58, p
