We used the Michigan Hand Outcome Questionnaire is stable and can be treated nonoperatively.3 However, greater (MHQ) to obtain a subjective response to the treatment.

Our series highlights that these are are 2 main problems with comminuted fractures at the PIP difficult injuries to treat and that anatomic reduction is not always joint: 1) the articular bony fragments are too small to openly possible. However, this technique is simple and quick to perform reduce and internally fix to gain anatomic reduction; and 2) if while allowing early joint mobilization. The subjective response to the joint is immobilized, the fibrotic changes that occur after treatment is comparable with other studies using a similar device. injury will cause stiffness. These problems can be overcome by early mobilization Key Words: dynamic, external fixation, fracture, proximal after anatomic reduction of the fracture using the principle of interphalangeal joint ligamentotaxis.7,8 There have been various techniques de- (Ann Plast Surg 2007;58: 625– 629) scribed in the literature using these principles.4,7,9 –11 We report a series of 11 patients with intra-articular PIP joint fractures and 1 patient with an intra-articular interphalangeal (IP) joint fracture of the thumb treated with a Kirschner (K) wire dynamic external fixation device.10 P roximal interphalangeal joint (PIP) joint fractures are relatively rare but can be severely disabling for the patient and lead to stiffness and persistent pain if inadequately treated.
