Dynamic External Fixation for Pilon Fractures of the Interphalangeal Joints

From the Royal United Hospital, Bath, UK

Correspondence: Mr M C Hynes, 32A St Andrews Road, Enfield, Middlesex, UK.

Eight consecutive pilon fractures of the finger proximal interphalangeal joint and one of the interphalangeal joint of the thumb were treated by closed reduction and application of a new dynamic external fixator. The average range of movement achieved was 12°–88° and there were no serious complications. The technique described offers an effective and simple solution for treatment of pilon fractures of the interphalangeal joint.
