Brief summary

HaWPYC is an international Post-Market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) to collect post-market safety and performance data on commercially available Pyrocarbon (PyC) hand and wrist implants used in this study. Data may be used for Post-Market Surveillance, and regulatory requirements.

Detailed description

The objective of this multicenter study is to collect preoperative, intraoperative, intermediate (approx. 2 years), mid-term (approx. 5 years), and long-term (approx. 10 years) postoperative data, on related clinical complications and clinical outcomes on the Sponsors market-approved hand and wrist Pyrocarbon implants, to demonstrate safety and performance of these implants in a real-world setting.

Exclusion criteria

* Patient pertaining to one of the categories referred to as vulnerable population in the French Law (articles L. 1121-5 to L. 1121-8 of the French Public Health Code), or as particularly vulnerable persons in the Swiss Federal Law (Chapter 3, Sections 1 to 4 of CC 810.30 Federal Act on Research involving Human Beings - Human Research Act, HRA), * Patient unable to comply with the study procedures based on the judgment of the investigator (e.g. cannot comprehend study questions, inability to keep scheduled assessment times), * Any medical condition that could impact on the study outcomes functional signification at the investigator's discretion (e.g., neuropathy, allergy…)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Total QuickDASH average compared to the predefined Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID)24 monthsDemonstrate a superior (lower) total QuickDASH average by 24 months postoperatively compared to the predefined Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) upper threshold of 36 points. QuickDash = Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand), self-report questionnaire; 11 items to measure physical function and symptoms; items scored on a 1-5-point scale which is then transformed resulting in a score from 0 (least disability) to 100 (most disability).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Safety evaluationup to 10 yearsNumber of device associated and procedure associated adverse events
Implant Survivorshipup to 10 yearsRates of revision surgeries; assessed using the Kaplan-Meyer analysis
Clinical assessment: change from baseline in QuickDash scoreup to 10 yearsQuickDash = Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand), self-report questionnaire; 11 items to measure physical function and symptoms; items scored on a 1-5-point scale which is then transformed resulting in a score from 0 (least disability) to 100 (most disability).
Change from baseline in Patient Satisfaction scoresup to 10 yearsSingle, subjective question measuring patient satisfaction; assessed through 4 levels satisfaction: Very Satisfied, Satisfied, Dissatisfied, and Very Dissatisfied.
Clinical assessment: change from baseline in Strength scoreup to 10 yearsGrip/grasp, tip and key pinch strength will be evaluated using a dynamometer.
Clinical assessment: change from baseline in Mobility scoreup to 10 yearsEvaluation of mobility (movement amplitude and functionality) will be assessed through angle measurement, using a goniometer. Measured movements will be flexion/extension, radial deviation/ulnar deviation, pronation/supination, adduction/abduction, opposition.
Clinical assessment: change from baseline in PRWE scoreup to 10 yearsPRWE = Patient-rated Wrist Evaluation; patient reported outcome developed to assess pain in the wrist joint and functional difficulties in activities of daily living resulting from injuries affecting wrist joint area. 15-item questionnaire made of two subscales (pain and function), resulting in a score from 0 to 100; Less score = better outcome.
