From Louisville, Kentucky, Stanford and Sacramento, California

The results of treatment of severe injuries to the proximal interphalangeal joint are unsatisfactory.

The methods of joint reconstruction are discussed, including fusion, implant arthroplasty, perichondrial grafting and vascularized joint transfer.

A patient is presented with a severe crush injury to the dorsum of the index finger with loss of skin and extensor tendon and proximal interphalangeal joint disruption. Immediate reconstruction of the finger is described using a composite free flap of skin, extensor tendon and proximal interphalangeal joint from the second toe.

Follow-up at two years is described, demonstrating proximal interphalangeal motion and finger function.
