Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and the original Strickland classification after flexor tendon injuries in Zones 1 and 2. Data were collected from the Swedish national health care registry for hand surgery (HAKIR). The studied PROMs were the Quick Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QuickDASH) and the patient questionnaire from the HAKIR (HQ-8). Complete data of both range of motion (ROM) and PROMs were available for 215 patients at 3 months after surgery, and for 150 patients at 12 months after surgery. We found that QuickDASH values were low and similar between all groups as classified by the Strickland system at 12 months. A statistically significant difference between PROM values (for stiffness and satisfaction) was found only between the Strickland groups Fair and Good, but not between Poor and Fair or Good and Excellent. This suggests that further categorization according to the Strickland classification is less important to the patients as long as they regain 70% of their ROM. Level of evidence: III
