Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Evaluation of both means (volar and dorsal). Comparison of pre- and
postoperative results: range of motion, grip strength, VAS painscore and DASH
score.
Secondary outcome
Adhesions is measured by restricted flexion and slow progression.
Displacement of the head of the capitate to ulnar is measured by means of
radiographs.
Background summary
A proximal row carpectomy (scaphoid, lunate, triquete) is excised for different
reasons. Usually, surgery is performed by means of a dorsal approach. Since
2004, the volar approach is used for proximal row carpectomies at the
university hospital of Utrecht. We expect more adhesions and therefore extra
surgery through the dorsal approach.
Study objective
Evaluation of the approach, both volar and dorsal: By means of function of the
wrist, pain scores, complications and extra surgery.
Study design
Prospective, randomised, clinical multi-centre trial.
Intervention
One group will undergo the proximal row carpectomy by means of a volar approach
and the other group by means of the dorsal approach.
Study burden and risks
Both groups will undergo the same operation. Only the approach is different.
Both methods are being excised in Dutch hospitals. The extent of the burden
exists of only an extra postoperative screening and radiographs. For this
reason, we do not expect mental of physical stress or damage for any of the
groups.
