Background : Patient-reported outcome measures ( PROMs ) are important tools for assessing outcomes following injuries to the h and and wrist .
Many commonly used PROMs have no evidence of reliability , validity , and responsiveness in a h and and wrist trauma population .
This systematic review examines the PROMs used in the assessment of h and and wrist trauma patients , and the evidence for reliability , validity , and responsiveness of each measure in this population .
[Distal radius fracture. Correlation between radiological and functional results].
BACKGROUND The purpose of the present study was to investigate the influence of the radiological parameters on the functional outcome of patients with a fracture of the distal radius and to find out to which extent a deformity can be tolerated . PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 344 patients with an isolated fracture of the distal radius were treated during a 3-year period ; 211 of them were evaluated at an average of 16 months after the accident according to the score of Gartl and and Werley as modified by Sarmiento . Furthermore , we developed our own score for evaluating the influence of radiological parameters on the functional outcome . RESULTS According to the AO classification , there were 20 patients with an A2 , 71 an A3 , 11 a B , 35 a C1 , 44 a C2 , and 30 a C3 fracture . Of 211 patients , 28 ( 13 % ) had a step-off in the articular surface of over 1 mm , result ing in a 24 % reduction of the range of motion compared to the non-injured wrist ( p<0.05 ) . Patients with a radial shortening of more than 3 mm ( n=12 ) had a 21 % reduction of pro- and supination compared to the non-injured side ( p<0.05 ) . The radial tilt and the palmar inclination did not have a direct influence on the functional outcome . Patients treated with K-wire pinning and with an initial palmar inclination of less then -15 degrees had a significantly higher secondary loss of palmar inclination of 9 degrees compared to all others ( p<0.05 ) at the final follow-up . CONCLUSION The main radiological factors influencing the functional outcome of fractures of the distal radius are radial shortening and a step-off in the articular surface
