Their mean age was 43 years (range, 32\u201356). Patients were assessed radiographically for union and clinically for range of motion, grip strength, and pain (assessed by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain). Functional evaluation was performed by using the Mayo modified wrist score (MMWS) and the Disabilities for the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) questionnaire.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>All patients showed complete healing at the fusion site after a mean of 8.7 weeks (range, 8\u201312). The mean follow-up period was 72 months (range, 60\u201384). The pinch strength improved from a mean of 6.2\u00a0kg (range, 3\u201312) to a mean of 9.8\u00a0kg (range, 5\u201318) which represents 80% of the contralateral side. The mean pinch strength was 7 kg (range, 5\u201318) which presents 80% of the other side. VAS for pain showed a mean improvement of 72.6%. The DASH score improved to a mean of 19.2 (range, 14\u201324). The MMWS improved to a mean of 68 (range, 45\u201386).
