Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. The mean score of self-rated upper-extremity disability and symptoms at short-term (up to 6 weeks) measured by Disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand (DASH). 2. The mean score of self-rated upper-extremity disability and symptoms at final follow up, measured by DASH. 3. The rate of treatment failure Outcome defined as either the need for a secondary procedure (repeated reduction, conversion to surgical treatment) or the presence of loss of reduction. The definition of the loss of reduction will be set by the authors of the original study. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. The mean loss of reduction of each radiographic parameter at the final follow up 1)Radial inclination(RI) (degree) 2)Radial Height (RH) (mm) 3)Ulnar Variance (UV) (mm) 4)Palmar tilt (PT) (degree) 2. The mean score of self-rated wrist pain and disability measured by Patient-rated wrist evaluation (PRWE). We will accept other measures used in original studies. 3. The mean score of pain at the final follow up, measured by visual analog scale (VAS) score, numeric rating scale (NRS) or verbal rating scale (VRS) evaluated using questionnaires and/or by interview. These scores are defined as numerical scale, which report no pain as the lowest score and worst imaginable pain as the highest score. 4. All adverse events. Definition of adverse events are set by original authors. | — |
