Conditions

Comminuted intraarticular base fracture of proximal phalanx Dynamic external fixator&#44

Interventions

A comminuted intraarticular base of P1 fracture was reduced by distal traction. The joint motions were not interfered because both metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and proximal interphalangeal (PIP) remained

P1 to correct angulation and improved fracture stability. Fluoroscopy was used to check alignment and reduction. Range of motion (ROM) exercise began immediately after the operation.

Experimental Procedure/Surgery
