Article Synopsis
- A study compared the Amandys® implant and four-corner fusion in patients over 50 with grade 3 wrist osteoarthritis, followed for 5 years, focusing on pain, mobility, strength, and satisfaction.
- Amandys® showed improved wrist extension and grip strength at the last follow-up, while four-corner fusion resulted in decreased flexion.
- Amandys® had shorter immobilization periods and better mobility outcomes, suggesting it may be a suitable alternative for older patients compared to four-corner fusion.
The purpose of this study was to report the outcomes of flexor tendon repair in zone II and compare two analytic tests - the original and adjusted Strickland scores - and a global hand function test, the 400-points test. We included 31 consecutive patients (35 fingers) with a mean age of 36 years (range 19-82 years) who underwent surgery for a flexor tendon repair in zone II. All patients were treated in the same healthcare facility by the same surgical team.

However, a recent study found a trend for deterioration over time. We wanted to check this by analyzing medium-term outcomes.
