Abstract
Proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint fracture-subluxations represent a small component of hyperextension injuries to the finger. Six unstable PIP fracture-subluxations that were not amenable to nonoperative treatment underwent open reduction and internal fixation. Among the patients, the technique of open reduction and internal fixation with temporary transarticular K-wire fixation and early protected range of motion has been found to result in a good range of motion with minimal complaints on follow-up.
