Overview
Brief Summary
The specific aim of the study is to obtain long-term follow-up information on patients who have completed their standard clinical care in the Orthopaedic Hand and Upper Extremity Service. The study will help to qualify and quantify long-term recovery and outcomes from uncommon upper extremity fractures, as well as non-fracture bone and joint conditions. The hypotheses vary, but generally focus on the patterns of injury, the results of treatment and the complications encountered.
