Wrist arthroscopy (WA) is a potentially useful adjuvant procedure in the surgical treatment (osteosynthesis) of distal radius fractures (DRFs). Previous research on the contribution of WA to DRF treatment has shown different results.
Objectives of the study: (1) Validate wrist functional outcome questionnaires; (2) To determine whether arthroscopically assisted repositioning of fracture fragments in articular DRFs leads to a better treatment outcome; (3) To determine whether arthroscopic observation and treatment of associated soft tissue and / or cartilage injuries in articular DRFs leads to a better treatment outcome; (4) To determine whether arthroscopic observation and treatment of associated soft tissue and / or cartilage injuries in extraarticular DRFs leads to a better treatment outcome.
Research hypotheses: (1) Validated questionnaires will have satisfactory measurement properties (validity, reliability) and will be able to be used in a WA randomized controlled trial; (2) WA as an adjunct to DRF osteosynthesis improves the clinical outcome of treatment.
Subjects: 56 female patients with indication for DRF osteosynthesis aged 50-69 years divided into 2 groups: 1. examined - 28 patients with indication for DRF osteosynthesis (14 patients with extraarticular DRF and 14 patients with intraarticular DRF) with associated WA, and 2. control - 28 patients with indication for DRF osteosynthesis (14 patients with extraarticular DRF and 14 patients with intraarticular DRF) without associated WA.
Methods: As a primary outcome measure, functional outcomes of treatment will be analyzed with the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) Score at 3 and 6 months after surgery. As a secondary outcome measures it will be analyzed pain level according to a visual analog scale (VAS), preoperative and postoperative radiographic parameters of distal radius, and clinical outcomes of treatment with the Mayo Wrist Score (MWS) and Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE) score at 3 and 6 months after surgery. Expected scientific contribution: providing answers on the role of WA in the treatment of DRF and associated injuries as well as its impact on treatment outcome.

| Wrist arthroscopy | Procedure | Wrist arthroscopy is a minimally invasive endoscopic method that enables the diagnosis and treatment of certain diseases and injuries of the radiocarpal, mediocarpal and distal radioulnar joints. Wrist arthroscopy enables a direct view of the articular surface of the wrist and the assessment and adequate treatment of articular fractures The wrist arthroscopy procedure also enables the detection and necessary treatment of associated soft tissue injuries (scapho-lunate and/or luno-triquetral ligament, i.e. triangular fibrocartilaginous complex) and/or cartilage lesions in extra-articular and articular fractures. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| DASH Score | Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand It consists of 30 questions and is used to assess functional disorders of the upper extremity. 21 questions examine the extent to which the patient had problems performing certain activities during the last week. 6 questions assess specific symptoms (eg, pain, paresthesias, sleep disturbances) during the last week, and 3 questions assess social or occupational limitations during the last week. The possible score ranges from 0 to 100 points. 0 points represents complete, unrestricted function of the upper extremities, while 100 points represents the greatest possible functional impairment. | 3 months after surgery |

| VAS | The visual analogue scale (VAS) of pain will be used in this study as a tool to assess the clinical outcome of treatment. It consists of the length of a solid line with values at the beginning and end of the line from 0 to 10 cm (0 - 100 mm). The leftmost side means the absence of pain, and the rightmost side means unbearable pain. | 3 months after surgery. |

| MWS | The Mayo Wrist Score (MWS) will be evaluated through 4 questions: (1) pain intensity, (2) functional status - ability to return to regular work, (3) active range of motion of bending /extension of the affected wrist compared to the contralateral side (5 answers offered to be scored from 0 to 25 points) and (4) grip strength of the affected hand compared to the contralateral side (5 answers offered to be scored from 0 to 25 points). The possible score ranges from 0 to 100 points. Interpretation of the results: from 90-100 points is an excellent result, 80-90 points is a good result, 60-80 points is a satisfactory result, and below 60 points is a bad result. | 3 months after surgery. |

| PRWE | The Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE) score is a highly reliable and valid 15-question questionnaire designed to measure wrist pain and disability in activities of daily living. The PRWE allows patients to assess their own level of pain and disability in the wrist from 0 to 10, and consists of 2 parts: pain and function. The part about pain contains 5 questions, the maximum score in this part is 50, and the minimum is 0. The part about function contains 10 questions divided into 2 parts, i.e. specific activities (6 questions) and usual activities (4 questions). The maximum score in this part is 50, and the minimum is 0. | 3 months after surgery. |
