“…Ramos et al developed a protocol for isolated unicondylar fracture of the head of the proximal phalanx which included surgical fixation using lag screw and immediate mobilization by use of a continous passive motion and controlled active motion [7]. They used specially designed splints and Coban wrap to control the position of the digit during the first six months.…”

“…3 Various surgical techniques have been reported, including fixation with the use of K-wire, interfragmentary screw, or plate. [4][5][6] Single K-wire fixation may not be enough to ensure stability, leading to an increased risk of loss of reduction during early rehabilitation. To address this issue, Shewring et al 3 employed a mid-lateral approach and a single lag screw fixation in the treatment of 31 adult patients with unicondylar fractures of the proximal phalanx.…”

Various surgical techniques have been described for the fixation of displaced unicondylar fractures of the proximal phalanx, with K-wire and interfragmentary screws being the most commonly used. Although open reduction with joint exposure can provide direct visualization and allow for anatomic reduction, its potential drawbacks, such as joint stiffness and loss of range of motion, are of significant concern. We introduced a novel fixation technique for displaced unicondylar fractures of the proximal phalanx using antegrade intramedullary pinning and transfixation of the proximal interphalangeal joint, which is simple, effective, and does not require open reduction.

The results of treating fracture dislocations of the proximal interphalangeal joint are often unsatisfactory for the patient because conservative methods cannot prevent stiffness of the joint. Thus, early functional treatment with external fixation systems is increasingly favoured. This therapy combines the principles of ligamentotaxis and the possibility of early movement of the injured joint. The frequently modified pins and rubbers traction system is especially effective. It is cheap, easy to apply, and well accepted by patients due to its light weight and small size. This paper gives an overview of the therapeutic options and the clinical results of treating fractures of the proximal interphalangeal joint.
