Our original patient-reported outcome assessment tool revealed that elbow, wrist and hand surgery provided long-lasting benefits in RA patients. While the efficacy differed in some of the surgical sites, pain relief was the most favorable effect. Altered medical therapy may also have impacted the patient-perceived outcomes of surgery at 10 years.
