The QuickDASH scores were significantly lower in the OT group at 6 weeks post-surgery (12.5 vs. 19.4). The postoperative VAS pain scores were significantly lower in the OT group at 2, 4, and 6 weeks (10.2 vs. 17.6). The active ROM of the wrist flexion-extension arc at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks, active ROM of the pronation-supination arc at 6 and 8 weeks, and passive ROM of the wrist flexion-extension arc at 2, 4, and 8 weeks were significantly greater in the OT group.
