Abstract: There has been a consistent effort to improve the way we measure outcomes in hand and wrist surgery. The advantages of widely accepted outcome measures include patient specificity and the ability to appropriately compare results. We developed a consensus tool based on subjective and objective measures. All of the tests have been previously validated. We present a series of patients and some preliminary results. It seems that this test allows for a detailed and specific assessment of the patient’s outcome. Further study and policy decision on which tests should be used may enable a more uniform on one hand and patient specific on the other, evaluation of outcomes in the hand and wrist.
