Abstract:
Fragmented proximal phalangeal fractures are difficult to treat. Fixation with plate and screws often lead to contractures and extensor tendon adhesions. Interosseous wiring could prevent those complications by repairing the periosteum and avoiding direct contact between implants and extensor tendon, while a good total active motion can be achieved.
