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 Via Anterior and Posterior Approaches
Forty-three h and s in 41 adults with osteoarthrosis of the trapeziometacarpal joint were allocated r and omly to undergo  a trapeziectomy through either an anterior approach or the posterior ( dorsoradial ) approach .  Forty h and s were available for review at a median of 33 months postoperatively . The demographic characteristics , severity of disease and pre-operative measurements of the two groups were indistinguishable . Trapeziectomy result ed in significantly improved objective and subjective function in both groups , but the anterior approach group had better outcomes for power , scar tenderness and satisfaction . Scar-related complications were three times more common in the posterior group . Trapeziectomy is a good method of treating osteoarthritis of the thumb base , but outcomes for the anterior approach are equally good or better than with the posterior
