Patient evaluations include: grip strength, pinch strength, range of motion, Kapandji score, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) questionnaire, and the visual analog scores for pain.

The average follow-up time was 57.2 months. There was improvement of pain score as early as at postop 3 months (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and continued to improve at 6, 12, and 24 months. There was improvement of grip strength and pinch strength at 12 and 24 months (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). The DASH score showed improvement as early as at 3 months (p\u2009=\u20090.012).
