Dynamic intradigital external fixation for proximal interphalangeal joint fracture dislocations.
PURPOSE Many skeletal traction devices have been described to treat fracture dislocations of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint. Most of these techniques are technically challenging or involve cumbersome frames. We present a design modification that enhances the stability of a simple dynamic fixation system described previously and report our results with this technique. METHODS A previ...
متن کاملGradual joint distraction of post-traumatic flexion contracture of the proximal interphalangeal joint by a mini-external fixator.
We present the outcome of the treatment of chronic post-traumatic contractures of the proximal interphalangeal joint by gradual distraction correction using an external fixator. A total of 30 consecutive patients with a mean age of 34 years (17 to 54) had distraction for a mean of 16 days (10 to 22). The fixator was removed after a mean of 29 days (16 to 40). Assessment at a mean of 34 months (...
متن کاملTreatment of Proximal Interphalangeal (PIP) Joint Fracture By Dynamic Kirschner Wire Fixator
Proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint injuries remain challenging to hand surgeons [1]. Painless, stable and mobile PIP joint are the main goals for any treatment option of PIP joint [2,3]. Closed reduction and extension block pins [1,2] Open reduction of PIP joint fractures [3,4] and osteochondral hemihamate autograft arthroplasty [5,6] described for treatment of such difficult injuries. Mainte...
متن کاملDynamic external fixation for injuries of the proximal interphalangeal joint.
Pain, stiffness, instability and degenerative arthritis are common sequelae of complex fracture-dislocations of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint. Operations were carried out to obtain stability, followed by application of a dynamic external fixator in 20 patients with a mean age of 29 years. This provided stability and distraction, and allowed controlled passive movement. Most (70%) of ...
متن کاملDynamic External Fixation for Unstable Fracture-Dislocations and Pilon Fractures of the Proximal Interphalangeal Joint
Injuries to the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) of the fingers are common. They occur most often following an axial impact on an extended finger. Fractures of the proximal interphalangeal joint include a wide spectrum of injuries, from stable avulsion fractures to complex fracture-dislocations. Stability of the joint is paramount in determining the appropriate treatment, which should aim ...
