Text: Patients in the antegrade group achieved better outcomes than patients in the retrograde group for all clinical parameters at 3 months postoperatively (ROM : antegrade median 80 [range, 57-90] versus retrograde 69 [range, 45-90], difference of medians 11, p < 0. 001 ; VAS : antegrade median of 2 [range, 0-5] versus retrograde 4 [range, 0-7], difference of medians 2, p < 0. 001 ; grip strength : antegrade median 81 % [range, 60 % -100 %] versus retrograde 71 % [range, 49 % -98 %], differences of medians 10 %, p < 0. 001 ; DASH : antegrade median 4. 3 [range, 0-15. 8] versus retrograde 10. 3 [range, 0-28. 4], difference of medians 6, p < 0. 001), but these differences, with the numbers available, were not observed at 6 months postoperatively for any clinical parameters (ROM : antegrade median 88 [range, 81-90] versus retrograde 87 [range, 80-90], difference of medians 1, p = 0. 35 ; VAS : antegrade median 1 [range, 0-2] versus retrograde 1 [range, 0-3], difference of medians 0, p = 0. 67 ; grip strength : antegrade median 93 % [range, 78 % -104 %] versus retrograde 91 % [range, 76 % -101 %], difference of medians 2 %, p = 0. 41 ; DASH : antegrade median 3 [range, 0-12. 5] versus retrograde of 4. 3 [range, 0-15. 8], difference of medians 1. 3, p = 0. 48).
