Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study parameters will be the range of motion (ROM, pro-sup and flex-ext), grip strength, patient reported outcome measures (PROM), the position of the radius with respect to the ulna and the position of the axis of rotation. The latter two will act as independent variables in a linear regression to find out if and how they influence the first four parameters. The main study endpoint will be to optimize implant characteristics (size, placement, kinematic behavior) to improve wrist function. | — |
