Dynamic Suzuki frame for the interphalangeal joint fracture: A case report

Proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint injuries are one of the common hand. Most in motor vehicle accidents and sports injury. Various treatment modalities available to treat such fractures like buddy strapping with or without extension block splint, CRPP, ORIF interfragmentary screws, Schenck dynamic traction, Hynes Giddings device many other modalities. This is challenging as there high incidence stiffness, loss function deformity leading disability following treatment. The pins rubber traction frame (Suzuki frame) system novel technique reduce disability.Case: 66 years old male history accident, presented comminuted intra-articular fracture base middle phalanx (PIP joint) extending distally DIP fourth finger left We used Suzuki for fracture.Suzuki a simple, minimally invasive, soft tissue sparing, cost effective, external fixation technique, can be done at minimal resource setting, which allows early ROM PIP joint, enabling good bone remodeling finger, free hand complication rate.
