Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
- The degree of OA in the fractured fingers and the same digit of the other hand. - The difference in degree of OA between the fractured and the non-fractured fingers. The degree of OA in the DIP-joints will be assessed using the standardised hand radiographs from the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI). Osteophytes and joint space narrowing (JSN) in the DIP-joints will be graded 0-3 points each, with total scores for the degree of OA ranging from 0 to 6.	—
