Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Pain is measured by a visual analogue scale. Wrist function will be evaluated by measuring grip and key pinch strength and range of motion (ROM) according to a standardized protocol and to the other hand. Limitations in daily life and patient satisfaction are measured by a standardised questionnaire (DASH, Michigan Hand Questionnare, Mayo Clinical Scoring Chart). An X-ray will be made to detect possible DISI-deformity or other anatomical deformities. | — |
