Abstract

[Indexed for MEDLINE] 16. J Hand Surg Asian Pac Vol. 2016 Oct;21(3):432-5. doi: 10.1142/S2424835516710041. Tips and Tricks in Mallet Fracture Fixation. Chin YC(1), Foo TL(1). Author information: (1)1 Department of Hand & Reconstructive Microsurgery, National University Health System, University Orthopaedics Hand & Reconstructive Microsurgery Cluster, Singapore. We describe three steps to aid fracture assessment and fixation in the extensor block pin technique for mallet fractures. The first step is the use of fluoroscopy in the initial assessment to determine indication for fixation. Next is the use of supplementary extension block pin to control larger dorsal fragments. The third technique described details the steps of open reduction of nascently malunited fractures. DOI: 10.1142/S2424835516710041
