Interphalangeal joint fusion is a salvage procedure for stability and pain relief. Proper joint preparation and bone end alignment are crucial for successful fusion and to prevent pseudoarthrosis.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Surgical techniques

Background:

  • Interphalangeal joint fusion is a critical salvage procedure.
  • It aims to restore stability, alleviate pain, and correct deformities in affected joints.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline various fixation techniques for interphalangeal joint fusion.
  • To emphasize the key factors for successful arthrodesis.

Main Methods:

  • Review and description of multiple fixation techniques for interphalangeal joint fusion.
  • Highlighting the importance of surgical preparation and bone alignment.

Main Results:

  • Successful arthrodesis depends on meticulous preparation of joint surfaces.
  • Accurate positioning and coaptation of bone ends are essential.

Conclusions:

  • Inadequate preparation or alignment invariably leads to pseudoarthrosis, irrespective of the fixation method used.
  • Achieving stability and pain relief through fusion requires precise surgical execution.
