Dynamic External Fixation for Unstable Fracture-Dislocations and Pilon Fractures of the Proximal Interphalangeal Joint
نویسنده
چکیده
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 to facilitate early mobilization and restoration of function.

Fractures of the proximal interphalangeal joint.
Fractures of the proximal interphalangeal joint constitute a broad spectrum of injuries. An understanding of the anatomy, the potential for joint instability, and the treatment options is essential to management of these fractures. Commonly observed fracture patterns involve one or both condyles of the proximal phalanx or the base of the middle phalanx. Fractures of the middle phalanx may invol...
متن کاملDorsal proximal interphalangeal joint fracture-dislocations: evaluation and treatment.
Proximal interphalangeal joint injuries are common and often can be treated nonsurgically. Some dorsal fracture-dislocations, however, require special attention or surgical management to optimize outcomes. Treatment options for dorsal proximal interphalangeal fracture-dislocations include splinting, percutaneous pinning, fracture fixation, external fixation devices, volar plate arthroplasty, an...

متن کاملPIPJ reconstruction after fracture including hemihamate transfer
Proximal interphalangeal joint fracture dislocations are challenging injuries that can be managed in a wide variety of ways. The fracture dislocations of the PIP joints are classified by their mechanical stability and the percentage of joint involved in the fracture. Fracture dislocations that remain stable with less than 30 degree of flexion of the PIP Joint and those that have less than 20% o...
متن کاملThe Outcomes of Pilon Fracture Treatment: Primary Open Reduction and Internal Fixation Versus Twostage Approach
Background: Pilon fracture is one of the challenging injuries in orthopedic surgery. Associated soft tissue injury is animportant factor in choosing treatment options. Two major methods of treatment are considered as one-stage openreduction internal fixation (ORIF) and two-stage treatment (primary external fixation and secondary ORIF). The latter ismost accepted in literature. In the current st...
