Self-identified functional limitations improve in patients with degenerative wrist arthritis after surgery

Development and Validation of a Survey to Measure Patients' Expectations of Wrist Arthritis Surgery

“…13 Wrist outcome assessment is limited to physical impairment measures of motion and strength, [14][15][16] and patient-reported outcomes.
