Results: Mean score of Hand Assessment Tool between both groups was -0.550 Std. 0.152 with a P-value of 0.001. Mean score of Visual Analog Score mean difference between both groups was -0.350 Std. 0.205 with a P-value of 0.097.

Practical Implication: Postoperatively, the wrist is splinted in a neutral position until the skin sutures are removed. This will minimize the probability of tendon anterior subluxation
