Delayed wound healing was noted in 5 patients , who got healed after dressing change. At 2 months postoperatively, all the patients had significant improvement in quality of life. Compared with those preoperatively, VAS scores [(5.6±1.3), (3.0±0.6), P<0.001) and the Quick DASH score [(20.3±5.0), (7.6±2.7), P<0.001] declined significantly at the latest follow-up.
