Avulsion Fractures from the Base of the Proximal Phalanges of the Fingers

D. J. SHEWRING

From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff, UK

Correspondence: Mr D. J. Shewring, Consultant Hand Surgeon, Department of Trauma and Orthopaedics, University Hospital of Wales, Heath Park, Cardiff CF14 4XW, U.K. E-mail: david.shewring{at}virgin.net.co.uk

Thirty-three patients with avulsion fractures from the base of the proximal phalanges were treated during a 6-year period. All eight fractures treated conservatively failed to unite and subsequently required surgery. The remaining 25 patients were treated with primary internal fixation using a single lag screw through a palmar approach. Surgery gave excellent results in all cases and all patients achieved a full range of movement within 3 weeks.
