PSFS, Patient-Specific Functional Scale; PRWHE: Patient-Rated Wrist & Hand Evaluation

^∗Score PRWHE: Pain = sum of 5 pain items (of 50); function = sum of 10 function items divided by 2 (of 50); total score = pain + function (of 100).

^†Total score PSFS = sum of individual score/total number of activities.
