- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method - correlation on treatment recommendation between the group with arthroscopic imaging and without
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method - the difference in the likelihood of recommendation for additional surgery” (score from 0 to 1, with 0 indicating that for none of the cases the surgeon recommends surgery, and 1 indicating that for all of the cases the surgeon recommends surgery) based on the four dichotomous clinical characteristics (e.g. the recommending surgery score” for MRI’s normal Scapholunate ligament (n=8) versus MRI’s including Scapholunate signal changes (n=8), as judged by all participants (i.e. surgeons). <br>- reliability (i.e. interobserver agreement) of the Geissler arthroscopic classification<br>- what surgeons characteristics are associated with interobserver agreement <br>the association of viewing the arthroscopy and surgeon factors with type of surgery recommended
