Secondary outcomes

1

Modified Hand Injury Scoring System (MHISS) (Campbell & Kay, 1996; Urso-Baiarda et al., 2008)

MHISS is an objective anatomical assessment specifically designed for hand injuries. The hand injuries can be divided into four broad categories, such as "Minor" (\< 20 moderate (21-50 points), severe (51-100 points), and major (≥ 101 points) "Major" (worst injury). Injury severity quantified using MHISS is an important determinant of return to work after hand or forearm injury
