CTS is often bilateral. A follow-up is required to detect any complications and confirm successful recovery before contralateral procedure is booked. Objectives The purpose of this study is to evaluate a closed ended questionnaire to assist nurses when starting routine follow-up telephone interviews after carpal tunnel surgery. Methods In our hospital routine follow-up phone calls to the patients 3 months after OCTR were allocated to nurse practitioners instead of surgeons. Once the practice was started a structured face validated closed ended questionnaire was used to collect data from a total of 61 consecutive patients. Results Nurse practitioners performed the follow-up independently in 97 % (59/61) of the cases. Ten per cent (6/61) of the patients were assigned further appointments to a surgeon and one patient was referred to an occupational therapist. 2 patients contacted the hospital after the telephone interview because of minor complaints. Patient charts were reviewed 18 months after the phone calls. No missed complications were detected. Conclusions We conclude that a structured closed ended questionnaire is useful assist in fast track familiarization of nurse practitioners for the follow-up contact after OCTR.","PeriodicalId":31023,"journal":{"name":"Hand and Microsurgery","volume":"1 1","pages":"37-43"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89523234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: Twenty-seven patients who underwent surgery with ZipTight (Zimmer Biomet, Parsippany, NJ) fixation system were included in this retrospective clinical study. Twenty-three of the patients are male; 4 of them were female and the mean age was 32.9 ± 9.8. Ten patients had Rockwood type III and 17 patients had type V acute AC joint dislocation. Patients were evaluated clinically with Constant score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score and visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score at the final follow-up. The radiologic assessment included standard anteroposterior views of the coracoclavicular (CC) distances. Results: The mean follow-up time was 36.2 ± 13.6 months. At the last follow-up, mean Constant score was 91.6 ± 6.18; the ASES score was 89.9 ± 6.3 and the VAS pain score was 0.33 ± 0.62. When they were divided into two subgroups as type III and type V AC joint dislocations, the two groups were found to be similar in terms of clinical outcomes (p > 0.889). CC distance measurements obtained in radiographic evaluation were measured as 20.04 ± 4.84 mm at preoperative period; it was 7.55 ± 0.78 mm in the early postoperative period and 7.76 ± 0.79 mm at the last follow-up. A statistically significant improvement was observed in the measurements in the early postoperative period compared to the measurements at preoperative period (p = 0.001). There was no significant difference between the measurements in the early postoperative period and those at the last follow-up (p = 0.001). Conclusions: In the treatment of acute AC joint dislocations, successful clinical and radiological outcomes can be obtained in the mid -term with CC ligament reconstruction using ZipTight fixation system.","PeriodicalId":31023,"journal":{"name":"Hand and Microsurgery","volume":"80 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72973996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
