Abstract |
Purpose To evaluate the effect of surgical treatment of displaced bony mallet finger of articular surface greater than 20 percent in Doyle's classification, type IVB and IVC. Materials and Methods: A retrospective series of 25 fingers(25 cases) of the bony mallet finger from July 1992 through June 1999 by open reduction, percutaneous K-wire fixation of the fracture fragment and the distal interphalangeal joint and open reduction, pullout wire suture and percutaneous K-wire fixation of the distal interphalangeal joint. Results: Excellent results were obtained from 19 fingers(76.0%), good from 4 fingers(16.0%) and fair from 2 fingers(8.0%) evaluated by Crawford criteria. Conclusion: Bony mallet finger treated by open reduction and K-wire fixation showed more than good results(92.0%). |
