Abstract
A modified technique of palmar plate advancement (PPA) was used to treat certain patients, most with failed previous treatment, with fracture subluxation of the proximal interphalangeal joint. The modification of the original technique consisted of using two sutures to attach the palmar plate and tying them deep to the skin on the dorsum. This allowed consistent maintenance of reduction, and there were no infections. The results of 11 of 23 patients who were treated with this technique and followed from 2 to 9 years postoperatively are reported. The indications for PPA in this injury are discussed.
