Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Pain after surgery, Ability of physical activity, Pulp pinching power, Radiologic assessments as Proximal migration, Lateral migration, First web space. Timepoint: Before surgery and 3,6 and 12 month after surgery. Method of measurement: Pain in patients was assessed using Visual Analogue Scale, Patient’s ability to perform some physical activity assess by Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand score, The pulp pinching power was measured using pulp pinching test calculated by a manometer. In order to investigate the proximal migration, anterior-posterior graphs were taken in the wrist view with lateral thumb in two positions: resting and maximum tip pinch effort. The proximal migration was calculated by dividing the length of the trapezoidal distance by the length of the proximal phalanx. Stress and non-stress thumb graphs were used to examine lateral migration. The lateral margin of both thumbs was placed together and the percentage of the metacarpal thumb that passed through the lateral border of the longitudinal axis of the scaphoid was calculated and recorded as lateral migration. The first web space was calculated by taking a graph with Robert view with maximum thumb abduction and the inter-metacarpal thumb-index angle was calculated to evaluate the restoration of the first web space. | — |
