Advances In Treatment Of Proximal Phalangeal Fracture

The goal of proximal phalangeal fracture management is to allow for fracture healing to occur in acceptable alignment while maintaining gliding motion of the extensor and flexor tendons.We reviewed the most current literature on various treatment methods of proximal phalanx fractures,focusing on the indications and outcomes of nonoperative as well as operative interventions.Stable fractures can be successfully treated nonoperatively,whereas unstable injuries benefit from surgery.Regardless of the surgical intervention employed,the overriding goal is to restore anatomy and impart enough stability to allow for early motion.According to the degree of displacement of the fracture,the patient's factors are integrated and the treatment method is carefully selected to achieve the success of the clinical treatment of proximal phalanx fracture.
