The Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QuickDASH) measures limb function and disability. Possible scores range from 0-100, with a higher score indicating a worse outcome (more severe disability).

The Visual Analog Scale measures patient reported pain using a 100mm scale. Possible scores range from 0-100, with higher scores indicating more severe pain.

The number of participants reporting the following: 1) pain with resist pinch, 2) perceived tendon triggering, catching, or locking

Tendons in the volar forearm will be directly visualized with ultrasound and their physical appearance will be grossly described. For this outcome measure, the number of participants with a healthy tendon, as determined by the physician, will be reported.

Standardized clinical examination (relative to wrist and digital positioning) of key pinch.

Standardized clinical examination (relative to wrist and digital positioning of three-jaw pinch.

Standardized clinical examination (relative to wrist and digital positioning) of grip strength.

Routine (3-view) radiographs of the injured wrist to document Soong grading of distal radius plate positioning. Soong et al (2011) proposed the Soong classification to classify palmar prominence at the watershed line, where flexor tendons lie closest to the plate. Classifications are as follows: 0: Plates do not extend volar to the watershed line; 1: Plates are volar to the line, but proximal to the volar rim; and 2: Plates are directly on or distal to the volar rim.
