Only the DASH and PRWE have evidence of reliability , validity , and responsiveness in patients with traumatic injuries to the h and and wrist ; other measures either have incomplete evidence or evidence gathered in a nontraumatic population .
Conclusions : The DASH and PRWE both have evidence of reliability , validity , and responsiveness in a h and and wrist trauma population .
Other PROMs used to assess h and and wrist trauma patients do not .
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 .
[Postoperative CT-controlled results of renewed osteosynthesis using screw fixation for acute scaphoid fractures].
BACKGROUND Currently screw fixation of the scaphoid is a well-established method to treat unstable scaphoid fractures . PATIENTS AND METHODS Between June 1995 and December 2000 , 68 patients with an unstable acute scaphoid fracture were treated with screw fixation ; 46 patients were reexamined on an average 35 months postoperatively . Range of motion and grip strength ( Jamar dynamometer ) were measured . The total data rating result ed from the Krimmer wrist score . RESULTS The subjective results were evaluated with the DASH question naire . The average postoperative pain score was documented with a visual analogous pain scale from zero to 100 ( VAS 0 - 100 ) . X-rays as well as computed tomography were performed postoperatively . The average range of motion was 124 degrees for extension/flexion ( 92 % of the opposite site ) , 57 degrees for radial/ulnarduction ( = 90 % ) , and 177 degrees for pronation/supination ( = 98 % ) . Postoperative strength was 47 kg ( = 90 % of the opposite site ) . The postoperative pain score was 13 ( 0 - 100 ) after stress and 2 during resting conditions . Bony consolidation was reached in 44 cases . The Krimmer wrist score demonstrated a very good result in 39 cases , a good result in 5 cases , and a satisfactory result in 3 cases . The average DASH score was 8.3 points . CONCLUSIONS The results demonstrate the reliability of internal screw fixation as treatment for acute scaphoid fractures . Functional results as well as subjective satisfaction of the patients are very good . Postoperative CT scans help to evaluate exact bony consolidation , position of the screw , and postoperative morphology of the scaphoid
