Abstract
We report the application and results of a technique of open reduction and rigid internal fixation of dorsal fracture/dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal joint with an interfragmentary screw in two cases. Articular congruity was restored, and the proximal interphalangeal joint was stabilized. This technique permitted immediate range-of-motion exercises. Excellent results were obtained in both cases. Previous descriptions have not detailed the indications, the surgical approach, or the results of this technique.
