This article describes a treatment of tendinous mallet finger deformities using a modified internal suture technique for the stable fixation of the terminal extensor tendon and bone.Between March 2011 and July 2013, 15 patients with mallet fingers who had been treated using this modification were included in this study. The patients included 10 men and 5 women with a mean age of 33 years (range...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this paper is to outline general treatment and return to play (RTP) strategies as they pertain to athletes with various upper extremity injuries. It is not intended to be a comprehensive review of these injuries. DATA SOURCES/SYNTHESIS A review of the literature plus expert opinion served as the basis for recommendations made regarding management strategies for return...

Sixty patients with mallet finger deformity were randomly treated with either a Stack or a custom-made padded aluminium alloy malleable finger splint. Both splints were equally effective in correcting the deformity but the aluminium alloy splint was able to be fitted to a wider variety of finger shapes and sizes and caused significantly fewer skin complications.

BACKGROUND Children with erb's palsy have significant functional disability, mainly related to the shoulder. The objective of this study was to analyze the functional outcome of tendon transfers performed for restoration of shoulder motion in patients with Erb's palsy. METHODS This descriptive case series was conducted at Aga Khan University Hospital from May 1999 to December 2003. Ten patien...

This paper constructs a bijection between irreducible k-shapes and surjective pistols of height k−1, which carries the ”free k-sites” to the fixed points of surjective pistols. The bijection confirms a conjecture of Hivert and Mallet (FPSAC 2011) that the number of irreducible k-shape is counted by the Genocchi number G2k. Résumé. On construit une bijection entre les k-formes irréductibles et l...

Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the outcomes individuals who had acute mallet fracture treatment early versus those underwent delayed surgical treatment.
 Methods: This a retrospective cohort in which all patients were skeletally mature and closed extension pinning surgery for Doyle Type 4B fractures. Crawford criteria used evaluate lag, loss DIP joint flexion, pain f...

The purpose of this paper is to lay stress upon an injury which, although not uncommon, seems to be inadequately described. Consequently it is often improperly treated. In Bunnell (1964) there is an illustration of displaced epiphysis of the distal phalanx, but in treatment no differentiation is made from the more common open crushing injury. Watson-Jones (1956) classified the injury as one of ...
