Treatment of articular fractures of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint of the hand can be a hard challenge. Ideal treatment should include an anatomic reduction, stable fixation and the possibility of early finger mobilization to prevent joint stiffness. We propose for the treatment of these fractures a new smart dynamic external fixator (SDEF), derived from the device described by Suzuki and based on the concept of the capsuloligamentotaxis described by Vidal.

Abstract

Treatment of articular fractures of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint of the hand can be a hard challenge. Ideal treatment should include an anatomic reduction, stable fixation and the possibility of early finger mobilization to prevent joint stiffness. We propose for the treatment of these fractures a new smart dynamic external fixator (SDEF), derived from the device described by Suzuki and based on the concept of the capsuloligamentotaxis described by Vidal.
