About this trial
Wrist osteoarthritis is often caused by past trauma to the wrist. The primary symptom is joint pain. Salvage surgery is the final solution if exercise therapy, analgesics, orthoses, or cortisone injections fail to relieve pain.
This trial aims to evaluate if a web-based rehabilitation protocol is non-inferior to standard, face-to-face, rehabilitation in terms of patient-reported outcome after surgical salvage procedures.
