Fractures of the proximal interphalangeal joints of the fingers

C Y Ng et al. J Bone Joint Surg Br. 2009 Jun.

Abstract

Fractures of the proximal interphalangeal joint include a wide spectrum of injuries, from stable avulsion fractures to complex fracture-dislocations. Stability of the joint is paramount in determining the appropriate treatment, which should aim to facilitate early mobilisation and restoration of function.
