Proximal phalangeal fractures frequently lead to extensor tendon dysfunction via adhesions and phalanx malunion with angulation and/or shortening. The primary purpose of this study was to quantify ...
A salvage procedure for the treatment of extrinsic tightness is release of the extrinsic tendon over the proximal phalanx. This release then relies on the intrinsics to extend the PIP and DIP ...
