The DASH , the  Michigan H and Outcomes Question naire ( MHQ ) , the  Patient Evaluation Measure ( PEM ) , and the  Patient-Reported Wrist Evaluation ( PRWE ) had evidence supporting their reliability , validity , and responsiveness .
A post-hoc review of excluded studies revealed the AUSCAN Osteoarthritis H and Index as another suitable instrument that had favourable reliability , validity , and responsiveness .
The DASH , MHQ , and AUSCAN Osteoarthritis H and Index instruments were supported by the most favourable empirical evidence for validity , reliability , and responsiveness .
The PEM and PRWE also had favourable empirical evidence reported for these elements .
This paper aim ed to identify condition-specific patient-reported outcome measures used in clinical trials among people with wrist osteoarthritis and summarise empirical peer- review ed evidence supporting their reliability , validity , and responsiveness to change .
A Comparison of Trapeziectomy with and without Ligament Reconstruction and Tendon Interposition
Forty-three patients were r and omly allocated to undergo either  trapeziectomy alone ( control ) or with a ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition ( LRTI ) using an abductor pollicis longus tendon slip .  The patients were review ed at a median 13 ( range , 7–29 ) months after surgery . The demographic characteristics , severity of disease and pre-operative clinical measurements of the two study groups were indistinguishable but LRTI lengthened the operation by approximately 15 minutes . Both groups expressed equal satisfaction with the operation and there were no significant differences between the two treatment groups . Simple trapeziectomy is an effective operation for osteoarthrosis at the base of the thumb and the addition of a ligament reconstruction was not shown to confer any additional benefit
