Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
From the MRI images, we will establish tendon diameter, tendon volume, length of the tendon gap, maximal excursion of the tendon, diameter of the A2 annular pulley, distance between the repair site to the A2 pulley, and amount of adhesion. From the ultrasound images, we will establish parameters such as tendon diameter, and length of the tendon gap. In addition, we will include a number of new measurements and imaging processing techniques that have recently been developed to quantify dynamics of the tendons such as tendon excursion and tendon stiffness. Clinical data will be collected on the number of re-ruptures, tendon adhesions (based on decrease range of motion of the hand) and additional surgical interventions that might be needed. In addition, we will measure a number of standard clinical outcome parameters: range of motion of the involved joints, hand strength and activities of daily living.	—
