Each patient's gender, age, dominant hand, injured hand, trauma mechanism, the time between injury and surgery, the range of motion of the bilateral wrist in flexion, extension, radial deviation and ulnar deviation, grip strength of each side, the time of return to work, and follow-up time were recorded. The QDASH score and Cooney wrist function score were used to evaluate the postoperative function. The VAS system was used to evaluate postoperative pain.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The follow-up time was 37.0\u2009\u00b1\u200919.0 months and the time between injury and surgery was 1.3\u2009\u00b1\u20090.5 days. In the injured side and the contralateral side, the range of motion of the wrist flexion were 58.3\u2009\u00b1\u20094.0\u00b0 and 60.5\u2009\u00b1\u20093.1\u00b0, the range of motion of the wrist radial deviation were 25.7\u2009\u00b1\u20093.3\u00b0 and 26.9\u2009\u00b1\u20092.9\u00b0, the range of motion of the wrist ulnar deviation were 28.1\u2009\u00b1\u20093.7\u00b0 and 29.5\u2009\u00b1\u20093.1\u00b0 respectively with no significant difference. The range of motion of the wrist extension (54.0\u2009\u00b1\u20093.4\u00b0) in the injured side was smaller than that in the contralateral side (56.7\u2009\u00b1\u20093.7\u00b0) with significant difference. The grip strength of the injured side and the contralateral side were 96.1\u2009\u00b1\u20099.5 LB and 100.7\u2009\u00b1\u20099.7LB respectively with no significant difference. The QDASH score was 3.8\u2009\u00b1\u20091.8, Cooney wrist function score was 94.5\u2009\u00b1\u20094.2, VAS score was 1.0\u2009\u00b1\u20090.8 and the time of return to work was 5.1\u2009\u00b1\u20090.9 weeks.
