In this context, a shortened decision tree version of the patient-rated wrist evaluation (DT-PRWE) was developed, reducing the number of items from 15 to 5.

(2) What is the difference in completion time between the DT-PRWE and the PRWE?</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We conducted a prospective study at Xpert Clinics in the Netherlands, a multicenter, referral-based outpatient practice, with both urban and regional locations, that specializes in hand and wrist surgery and hand therapy to assess the interversion reliability and agreement between the PRWE and the DT-PRWE. Between January and April 2025, a total of 427 adult patients were treated for wrist-related conditions and completed the PRWE at baseline as part of routine outcome measurement at our clinic. Subsequently, we asked patients to complete the DT-PRWE again 5 to 10 days after the initial assessment. Of those, we considered adult patients with wrist conditions who completed both versions of the PRWE to be potentially eligible. Based on this, 55% (235 of 427) were potentially eligible; a further 27% (116) were excluded because of intervening treatment before completion of the PRWE and the DT-PRWE, including corticosteroid injection (11% [45]), surgery before completion of both versions (6% [25]), other treatment before completion of both versions (5% [23]), and concomitant treatment (5% [23]), leaving 28% (119) for analysis here. Primarily, we evaluated interversion reliability using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) as the main outcome; an ICC > 0.75 was considered acceptable for clinical use. We also calculated Pearson correlation coefficients. We assessed the agreement by evaluating paired between-version mean differences, standard error of measurement (SEM), and Bland-Altman plots. Additionally, we compared the SEM values with the minimum important change (MIC) thresholds of the PRWE to assess the level of agreement. Finally, we calculated the median (IQR) completion time and compared completion efficiency between versions using the paired Wilcoxon signed-rank test.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The DT-PRWE demonstrated good interversion reliability compared with the PRWE for total score (ICC 0.88 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.83 to 0.91]), pain subscore (ICC 0.78 [95% CI 0.69 to 0.84]), and hand function subscore (ICC 0.83 [95% CI 0.77 to 0.88]).

(2) How accurately does the model classify malunited forearms according to the presence of clinically relevant functional limitations, defined as a range of pronation or supination less than 50°? (3) What is the frequency at which the model detects bone impingement and central band block during pronation and supination?</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This retrospective study evaluated a diagnostic model using the preoperative CT scans of 45 patients with unilateral diaphyseal forearm malunions, all of whom underwent corrective osteotomy due to a clinically relevant limitation in pronation or supination function. In all, 53% (24) of patients were male; the mean ± SD age at the time of the CT scan was 16 ± 6 years, and the mean time since the original trauma was 6 ± 5 years. Twenty patients had a clinically relevant loss of pronation, 15 patients had a loss of supination, and 10 patients had a loss of both. We generated 3D bone models with landmarks to simulate forearm rotation in 5° steps from 100° of pronation to 100° of supination. Two mechanisms that limit function after diaphyseal malunions-bone impingement and central band blockage-were identified in the simulation, resulting in a predicted ROM. For the first study question, differences between clinical and predicted function were expressed as mean absolute error, root mean square error, and mean error to illustrate typical error size, penalize outliers, and quantify the direction of error deviation, respectively. Acceptable errors were around 15°, comparable to the range seen in clinical measurements. For question two, clinical measurements and predictions were dichotomized based on a threshold of 50°. Accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for detecting clinically relevant limitations were calculated separately for pronation and supination. Acceptable diagnostic values should be above 60%, which is normal for angulation measurements. For question three, the blocking mechanisms detected during the simulation were counted.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Mean absolute er","PeriodicalId":10404,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research®","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147856100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
