Core Tip This study demonstrates the successful translation and cultural adaptation of the LIMB-Q Kids questionnaire for use in the Netherlands. By following best practices, the researchers have developed a version that is conceptually and linguistically equivalent to the original English version. The availability of this validated Dutch version enhances the ability to assess patient-reported outcomes, supports cross-cultural research and comparisons, and can support improvement of patient-oriented pediatric orthopedic clinical care.
