¹Percentage of operated side compared to contralateral side.

²Trapezio-metacarpal joint extension in cm was measured with the palm of the hand flat on the table as the maximum distance between the elevated thumb (active extension) and the table.

TMC: Trapezio-metacarpal joint; TAM: Total active range of motion; IP: Interphalangeal joint.
