Pilon Fracture of the Middle Phalanx: Treatment Using Mini-Ilizarov Apparatus
Journal Title: Journal of Orthopaedic Science and Research - Year 2024, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
The treatment of complex intra-articular fractures of the middle phalanx is a difficult task for the hand surgeon. A 61-year-old male presented with complex intra-articular middle phalanx fracture of the ring finger which was treated with the aid of the Ilizarov mini-apparatus. The proposed use of the Ilizarov mini-apparatus has some advantages. The degree of traction is easy to dose and control. Parts of apparatus and K-wires do not cover the image of the proximal interphalangeal joint on radiographs. The Ilizarov mini-apparatus is quite stable.
