Proximal Row Carpectomy Versus Four Corner Fusion

NCT01906996 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: PRC01
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 114

Brief Summary

There are two types of interventions to treat a post-traumatic wrist osteoarthritis: the proximal row carpectomy and the four corner fusion. They are used to reduce pain and to maintain the mobility. In previous studies are shown that the proximal row carpectomy shows a better mobility of the wrist postoperatively, whereas the four corner fusion has lower progression of radiocarpale osteoarthritis. The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical, radiological and subjective outcomes after the treatment with a proximal row carpectomy or a four corner fusion.

Conditions

Wrist Osteoarthritis

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Range of motion of the wrist

  measurements of flexion/extension,supination/pronation and radial-/ulnarduction of the wrist

  participants will be followed up by an expected average of 4.5 years

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• complication rate

  participants will be followed up by an expected average of 4.5 years

Other Outcomes (5)

• grip strength

  participants will be followed up by an expected average of 4.5 years

• Patient-Rated Wirst Evaluation (PRWE)

  participants will be followed up by an expected average of 4.5 years

• Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ)

  participants will be followed up by an expected average of 4.5 years
