Abstract
We report an interphalangeal traction system through capsuloligamentotaxis for the treatment of comminuted fracture of the middle phalanx. The interphalangeal (IP) traction system inserts a K-wire at the proximal and distal phalanx. The difference between our IP traction system compared with the modified Suzuki frame method is that distal IP and proximal IP joints are synchronously distracted in the fixator, and bony continuity and articular integrity are restored.
