A method of assessment of pollicisation

J Hand Surg Br. 1991 May;16(2):141-3. doi: 10.1016/0266-7681(91)90163-i.

Abstract

The evaluation and comparison of results of pollicisation for different pre-operative conditions is difficult as no standard method exists. An assessment is proposed, based upon tip pinch, opposition, pulp pinch, grasp, mobility, sensitivity and cosmetic appearance which gives a numerical score.
