Percutaneous fixation of proximal fracture of the proximal phalanx E-Hand

Description: Fractures of the proximal part of the proximal phalanx are often unstable and angulate dorsally. Longitudinal percutaneous fixation may not provide adequate purchase on the proximal fracture fragment. These intraoperative flouroscopy images show a method of increasing stability of percutaneous fixation in a malaligned three week old fracture by placing additional pins into the proximal fracture fragment.
