Extension block pining for treatment of bony mallet finger
Abstract Background: The goal of this report is to show our results with extension block technique for treatment of mallet fracture. The indications for this technique were the presence of a large bone fragment, and palmar subluxation. Methods: We retrospectively assessed the results of treatment in 14 mallet fractures which have been treated by extension block technique to determine the ra...
متن کاملMallet finger.
Mallet finger involves loss of continuity of the extensor tendon over the distal interphalangeal joint. This common hand injury results in a flexion deformity of the distal finger joint and may lead to an imbalance between flexion and extension forces more proximally in the digit. Mallet injuries can be classified into four types, based on skin integrity and the presence or absence of bony invo...
متن کاملTwo extension block Kirschner wire technique for mallet finger fractures.
We treated 32 displaced mallet finger fractures by a two extension block Kirschner-wire technique. The clinical and radiological outcomes were evaluated at a mean follow-up of 49 months (25 to 84). The mean joint surface involvement was 38.4% (33% to 50%) and 18 patients (56%) had accompanying joint subluxation. All 32 fractures united with a mean time to union of 6.2 weeks (5.1 to 8.2). Congru...
متن کاملThe results of treatment of mallet finger.
Mallet finger is the deformity caused by a tear of the extensor expansion from its attachment to the base of the terminal phalanx. Sometimes there is an associated fracture caused by avulsion of a small triangular fragment of bone. The terminal phalanx is flexed and the power of active extension is lost, and there may be a secondary hyperextension of the proximal interphalangeal joint due to th...
متن کاملtREAtmENt Of mALLEt fINGER – A REvIEw
Disruption of the finger’s extensor apparatus at its terminal portion, causing inability to extend distal interphalangeal joint (abbreviation: DIP) and dropping of the distal phalanx, results with well known „mallet finger” deformity. This deformity can be caused by simple rupture of extensor apparatus, or avulsion fracture of the dorsal rim of the articular surface of distal phalanx. Sudden, f...
