Ten patients with 13 basilar metaphyseal impaction fractures of the proximal phalanges of the fingers were treated with "rigid internal fixation" by bone grafting alone. When retrospectively reviewed at a mean follow-up of 32 months, bone healing had occurred without any relevant secondary displacement of the fracture fragments. The final ranges of motion were good and return to work was quicker than expected.
