Dynamic external fixator for pilon fractures of the proximal interphalangeal joints: a simple fixator for a complex fracture

A A Syed et al. J Hand Surg Br. 2003 Apr.

Abstract

We describe a very cheap, simple and effective dynamic external fixator for treatment of pilon fractures of the proximal interphalangeal joint. At final follow-up, nine such fractures had regained an average range of motion of 79 degrees (range, 65-90 degrees ). There was high patient satisfaction and there were no serious complications.
