Abstract:
This case report describes the 4-year outcomes of proximal interphalangeal joint arthroplasty in a 14-year-old girl with a stiff joint after trauma. At follow-up, active range of motion was 35°, she was pain-free and satisfied with the outcome. Implant arthroplasty seems to be a valuable option for young patients with persistent post-traumatic stiff and deviated PIP joints to-at least temporarily-increase quality of life.
