Long-term patient-reported outcomes for open surgery of the triangular fibrocartilage complex
Article
Full-text available
- Nov 2021
Aims Studies on long-term patient-reported outcomes after open surgery for triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) are scarce. Surgeons and patients would benefit from self-reported outcome data on pain, function, complications, and satisfaction after this surgery to enhance shared decision-making. The aim of this study is to determine the long-te…
Predicting Complete Finger Extension In Dupuytren’s Disease
Article
Full-text available
- Nov 2021
Multiple studies have reported the effectiveness of treatment on contracture reduction in Dupuytren’s disease. However, very few studies have attempted to quantify to which extent patient- and disease characteristics influence the chance of achieving a straight finger after surgery. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore to which extent pre…

Routine outcome measurements as a critical prerequisite of value-based healthcare have received considerable attention recently. There has been less attention for the last step in value-based healthcare where measurement of outcomes also leads to improvement in the quality of care. This is probably not without reason, since the last part of the lea…
