Extra-articular, transverse, distal phalangeal fractures that involve the physis, are termed Seymour fractures. They are frequently associated with an avulsion of the nail and a laceration of the nail bed. For this type of fractures, sur-gical intervention is needed to explore the fracture site for soft tissue interposition. Its failure may result in several complications. The authors report an adult Seymour-type fracture, which developed an infection due to interposition of the germinal matrix of the nail complex on the fracture site. The purposes of this article are to demonstrate that this rare fracture can also occur in adults, highlight the importance of treating this injury with the basic principles of open fracture treatment, and evidence one of its complications if not well treated.

From this case series we can conclude that surfing may lead to significant trauma to the fingers, mainly due to the leash. This can be caused by grasping the leash while it snaps to tension, which may lead to hyper flexion of the distal phalanx, resulting in a typical trans-phalangeal fracture. Also, when the leash is wrapped around a finger or grasped near the attachment of the leash to the board, ring avulsion-like trauma may occur, leading to open fractures or (partial) amputations. Recognizing that surf leash trauma causes a particular type of fracture to the distal phalanx, may lead to better education of surfers and the development of safer surfing equipment.

Seymour's fracture is an extra-articular, transverse, physeal, and juxta-epiphyseal open fracture of the distal phalanx seen in childhood. In this study, we present 10 adult cases of fractures localized to the metaphyseal region, 1-2 mm distal to the insertion of the extensor tendon. Mean age was 38 years. Four patients were treated conservatively with a mallet finger splint. Closed reduction and osteosynthesis with Kirschner wires (K-wires) was performed in three of the patients. Three of the patients had open fractures in whom closed reduction could not be performed. They underwent open reduction and osteosynthesis with K-wires. We recommend that extra-articular distal phalanx fractures mimicking mallet finger in adults are called Seymour-type fracture to establish a common language among clinicians to define this type of fracture. These fractures generally occur by hyperflexion of the distal phalanx and can be treated by conservative or surgical methods. The outcomes of conservative and surgical management of Seymour-type fractures depend on the appropriate reduction as well as efficient physical therapy.
