Dynamic intradigital external fixation for proximal interphalangeal joint fracture dislocations

A simple dynamic fixator for the treatment of unstable PIP joint fracture dislocations was used succesfully in 6 digits to maintain reduction and restore digital range of motion. The addition of modifications to the original technique not only improves the solidity of the construct but also provides satisfactory functional results. Based on our experience we recommend this easy technique to treat fracture dislocations of the PIP joint.
