Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The main study parameter is the difference in time to complete active full fist position after operation between the index and comparator group, in days.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Feasibility will be assessed by evaluation of patient inclusion and drop-out and the burden for patients and staff. In addition, pain scores will be assessed. Secondary outcome assessment include active and passive joint range of motion of wrist and fingers, self-reported hand function with the Michigan Hand Outcome Questionnaire, observed hand function with the Jebsen hand Taylor Test, muscle strength, oedema and sensibility of the hand. Outcome assessors will evaluate functional outcome 7 and 14 days post ok and at 1, 5 and 12 months post ok.	—
