Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Convalescence: return to function and return to work - VAS score: standardized list of questions about pain and well-being of the patient; to register the pain of the hand and donor site. - Contracture reductions: 1) Total passive extension deficity (TPED): the sum of the passive extension deficits of the metacarpophalangeal, proximal interphalangeal, and distal interphalangeal joints. 2) Boyes measure: measuring the distance from pulp to distal palmar crease with the hand in a maximum fist position. Flexion is defined as reduced if the distance is more than 1.5 cm. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Intervention: o Register the anaesthetics drugs administered and vital signs during surgery. o Register of arthrolysis (if it is used) Hand sensibility and complications due to intervention: o Semmes Weinstein test o Swelling measured following hand volume o DASH score: standardized list of questions about hand and arm function of the patient Patients satisfaction: o To determine the patient satisfaction, the patients are asked to fill in five questions (on a VAS scale) at 6 months and 1 year post-operatively: - Are you satisfied with the undertaken operation and treatment? - Are you satisfied with the gain of hand function? - Are you satisfied with the recovery time that was needed to regain full hand function again? - If the choice presented itself again, would you consider this form of surgery? - Would you recommend this kind of surgery to a friend or family? | — |
