Orthopedics research centers, especially “Hand and upper extremity services” are a good place to start. When we want to set a retrospective study, there is always a lack of accurate objective and subjective data. Perhaps, this is the major reason we tend to utilize prospective studies instead(1-3). Nowadays, with the help of technology, we can overcome this problem. UR - https://abjs.mums.ac.ir/article_4241.html L1 - https://abjs.mums.ac.ir/article_4241_dbb0f6a660934f3bb470a264ee0d5aad.pdf ER -
