Abstract

A new suturing technique for treatment of acute volar plate avulsion fracture of the proximal interphalangeal joint is reported. Because this technique that consists of double-strand suture is rigid enough and never obstructs joint motion, early motion exercise can be allowed. This technique only demands simple skill like conventional K-wire fixation. Furthermore, removal of fixation material is not necessary.
