Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>patient-reported outcome after six months measured by PRWE (Patient Related<br /><br>Wrist Evaluation) score.<br /><br><br /><br>The PRWE is a validated 15-item (scored 1-10) self-reported questionnaire and<br /><br>is the best questionnaire for evaluating the patient reported outcome in case<br /><br>of DRFs. Patients rate their outcome on a 0-10 scale on pain and functional<br /><br>outcome, and scores will be transformed to a 0-100 score. A higher score<br /><br>indicates greater disability. </p><br>
