This study investigates mallet finger deformities caused by distal phalanx fractures. Surgical treatment was performed on 17 of 21 cases, with results discussed.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Hand Surgery
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Mallet finger deformities are often associated with distal phalanx fractures.
  • Literature suggests only a third of these deformities stem from intra-articular fractures of the posterior distal phalanx.
  • Functional impairment post-treatment necessitates ongoing debate regarding optimal management strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present findings on 21 cases of mallet finger deformities involving distal phalanx fractures.
  • To describe the surgical technique employed in managing these injuries.
  • To discuss the outcomes of surgical intervention for mallet finger fractures.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series analysis of 21 patients with mallet finger deformities.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Detailed description of the surgical operative technique used for fracture fixation.
  • Evaluation of treatment outcomes, focusing on functional recovery.

    • Main Results:

    • Seventeen out of 21 cases underwent surgical treatment for distal phalanx fractures causing mallet finger.
    • The study details the specific operative approach for these injuries.
    • Results pertaining to the efficacy of surgical management are presented and analyzed.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical intervention is a significant option for treating mallet finger deformities with distal phalanx fractures.
    • The presented operative technique and results contribute to the understanding of managing these complex hand injuries.
    • Further discussion on conservative versus surgical management is warranted based on functional outcomes.
