Comparison of Postoperative Outcomes by Treatment Group

Postoperative outcome	Treatment			P Value
Postoperative outcome	Cast Immobilization (n = 94)	K-wire Stabilization (n = 69)	TFCC Repair (n = 52)	P Value
Grip strength (kg)^∗	24.6 ± 1.0	25.3 ± 0.8	18.7 ± 2.2	.01
Flexion-Extension (°)	120.0 ± 3.2	112.2 ± 4.3	117.4 ± 5.3	.44
Pronation-Supination (°)^†	166.2 ± 2.7	158.6 ± 2.8	152.2 ± 4.0	.04
MMWS^‡	84.9 ± 1.4	89.6 ± 1.2^§	84.5 ± 0.4^§	.04
DASH	15.0 ± 1.3	11.4 ± 3.8^§	11.5 ± 1.5	.55

^∗

Post hoc analysis shows significant difference between TFCC repair and other treatment options.

^†

Significant difference between cast immobilization and TFCC repair.

^‡

Post hoc analysis shows significant difference between TFCC repair and K-wire stabilization.

^§

Sample size differed in the analyses for MMWS comparing K-wire stabilization (n = 45) to TFCC repair (n = 32) and for DASH comparing K-wire stabilization (n = 60) to other treatment groups.
