  1. Overall clinical results of the PTS group patients. For each measured outcome (flexion, extension, pronation, supination, VAS score, and MEPS score) the preoperative and postoperative means (with SD standard deviation and range with minimum / maximum value obtained), the variation, and the P-value are reported
