Did you know that all HWSG research is based on real-world clinical data collected at Xpert Clinics?

One of our recent #HWSG studies identified factors influencing pain and function in 2681 patients undergoing surgical A1 pulley release (#TVR).

𝐃𝐫. 𝐉𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐦𝐢𝐭, Hand Surgeon at Xpert Clinics, shares how he incorporates these findings into his daily clinical practice:

𝐉𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐞𝐧: "I use HWSG research findings during my preoperative consultations for A1 pulley release to guide patient counseling and manage expectations regarding treatment outcomes. For instance, we now understand that worse pain and function scores at intake, along with ≥3 preoperative steroid injections, predict poorer postoperative outcomes. Patients with worse preoperative symptoms represent a group with a more advanced disease that is more difficult to treat. It's rewarding to see the results of our work reflected in clinical research and to apply these insights in my daily practice."

Thank you, Jeroen, great to see how our HWSG research directly impacts everyday clinical care!
