Summary
This case study reports a novel surgical technique using bilateral hamate bone grafts for treating multiple proximal interphalangeal joint fracture dislocations, restoring patient function.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Hand Surgery
- Traumatology
Background:
- Proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) fracture dislocations can be complex intra-articular injuries.
- Unrepairable PIPJ injuries pose significant challenges for restoring hand function.
- Hemi-hamate autografts are utilized in hand reconstruction, but bilateral use for PIPJ injuries is not well-documented.
