Proximal Interphalangeal Joint Fractures: Various Approaches to Fixation.

There are numerous operative and nonoperative options for the management of proximal interphalangeal joint fractures and fracture dislocations. The treatment of choice should be guided by the fracture pattern and joint stability. The authors highlight a contemporary option for open reduction and internal fixation techniques, but all the techniques presented are viable options under the right circumstances. It is also important to set patient expectations as most of these patients will note post-injury stiffness and potential functional limitations.
