Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Functional outcome of the wrist is assessed through physical examination, measuring: flexion, extension, pronation, supination, radial deviation and ulnar deviation. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Accuracy is calculated using computed tomography imaging, providing us with: dorsal collapse, radial collapse and rotational deformation. Total costs are assessed using direct medical costs, operation time, indirect costs (aftercare) and workplace absenteeism. Self-assessed quality-of-life is assessed using the EuroQol EQ-5D-5L questionnaire.irect medical costs, operation time, indirect costs (aftercare), workplace absenteeism, self-assessed quality-of-life (using EuroQol EQ-5D-5L questionnaire). Other study parameters: age, gender, body weight, smoking, alcohol, diabetes, NSAID usage. | — |
