Twenty-nine patients (33 fingers) with a bony mallet finger deformity and fracture fragment involving more than one-third of the articular surface were treated surgically. The fracture fragment was fixed and the mallet finger deformity was corrected in all patients using modified extension-block K-wires (2 dorsal extension-block pins) with a transarticular K-wire (volar side pin) fixation technique. Active motion of the proximal interphalangeal and metacarpophalangeal joints was not restricted. The wires are removed in the clinic 6 weeks postoperatively when the bridging trabeculae were observed in the radiographs, and immobilization in a stock splint was continued for an additional 2 weeks.<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>According to Crawford\u2019s evaluation criteria, there were 24 (73%) excellent, 7 (21%) good, and 2 (6%) fair results. Three patients showed radiological signs of mild degenerative changes, which did not limit their daily activities. Nail ridging occurred in 3 cases (9%), which disappeared after an average of 6 months with normal growth, and mild scarring at the dorsal pin site occurred in 2 cases (6%). Modified extension-block K-wires with a transarticular K-wire fixation technique is an acceptable alternative treatment modality for the management of bony mallet finger deformities with or without subluxation of the distal phalanx.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3928\/01477447-20100826-10","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,10,18]],"date-time":"2010-10-18T20:10:30Z","timestamp":1287432630000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Modified Extension-Block K-Wire Fixation Technique for the Treatment of Bony Mallet Finger"],"prefix":"10.3928","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Sang Ki","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kap Jung","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dae Suk","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kyung Ho","family":"Moon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Won Sik","family":"Choy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2308","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_1_2_2","first-page":"1962","volume-title":"Green\u2019s Operative Hand Surgery","author":"Doyle JR","year":"1999","unstructured":"Doyle JR.
