INTRODUCTION: Proximal phalangeal fractures are common and can have a significant impact on hand function. Therefore, it is important to optimise post-operative rehabilitation. A scoping review was undertaken to map the existing evidence on rehabilitation of proximal phalangeal fractures of the fingers in adults.
METHODS: A comprehensive search was conducted which included database searching, reference searching, hand searching of journals, and searching for grey literature. Eight articles were included after screening for eligibility.
RESULTS: Three studies researched surgical interventions and five studies conservative management. The immobilisation period varied between 5 days to 3 weeks in the surgical studies, and between 3 to 7 weeks in the conservative studies. Active exercise therapy was started immediately with conservative management, while in the surgical studies time to commence exercises varied between 5 days and 3 weeks. All studies reported good results in mobility with a mean total active motion ranging from 240° to 258.9°. Patients reported little pain at final follow-up and grip strength recovered to 96% compared to the unaffected side. Studies reporting on function and patient satisfaction lacked transparency.
CONCLUSIONS: All studies had a moderate to high risk of bias and the results of the included studies should therefore be interpreted with caution. More high-quality randomised controlled studies with an a priori research protocol and a standard set of outcome measures are necessary to research whether early motion, an intrinsic plus splint leaving the wrist free, and the inclusion of additional treatment modalities can result in a better and/or faster recovery.
