The Ishiguro Technique for the Treatment of Mallet Finger Fracture in Adolescent
نویسندگان
چکیده
Treatment options for mallet finger fracture are primary conservative such as splint or cast [2]. Splints or casts immobilize musculoskeletal injuries while alleviating pain and promoting healing. However, these interventions differ in their technique, indications, benefits, and risks. Operative treatment is indicated in case of fractures involving more than one third of the articular surface and/or volar subluxation of the inter phalangeal joint as well as open fractures and when conservative treatment is not successful [1,3]. Reposition and internal fixation is required in the case of instable phalanx fractures and fractures with extensive destruction. These methods include: wire, intraosseous wire sutures, extra-and intraosseous compression pin fixation, and mini screw fixation [4-6].

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 کاملThe Ishiguro extension block technique for the treatment of mallet finger fracture: indications and clinical results.
The results of extension block Kirschner wire fixation for the treatment of mallet fractures of the distal phalanx were retrospectively assessed in 65 consecutive patients. The indications for this technique were the presence of a large bone fragment, and palmar subluxation or the loss of joint congruity of the distal interphalangeal joint. Using the Wehbé and Scheider classification there were...
متن کاملClosed Extension-Block Pinning for Management of Mallet Fracture – A Case Report Based Description
INTRODUCTION Close reduction by extension-block K-wire fixation for acute mallet fracture is based on two sound orthopedic principles - stable arc splinting and early protected motion. Distal interphalangeal joint splinting is still the technique commonly used for mallet fractures with significant morbidity and only moderate functional outcome. CASE REPORT We have demonstrated here Ishiguro's...
متن کاملThe "Fish Hook" Technique for Bony Mallet Finger.
This study describes a new technique called the "fish hook" technique for the treatment of bony mallet finger. This technique catches the dorsal fragment with a bent K-wire shaped like a fish hook. Transarticular fixation is performed with another K-wire. This technique does not directly penetrate the bone fragment to prevent fragment comminution. This study included 26 patients with mallet fin...

Close reduction by extension-block K-wire fixation for acute mallet fracture is a relatively novel mode of treatment which is based on two sound orthopedic principles - stable arc splinting and early protected motion. Distal interphalangeal joint splinting is still the technique commonly used for mallet fractures with significant morbidity and only moderate functional outcome. We have demonstra...
