Abstract
Several open and closed surgical techniques have been reported in the treatment of displaced phalangeal neck fractures. The most common fixation is provided by a Kirschner wire, which is placed in a retrograde manner through the interphalangeal joint in extension. Although it provides a stable fixation, it may lead to joint stiffness and cartilage damage. The purpose of this report is to describe a new fixation technique for phalangeal neck fractures in 2 cases, which may provide stable fixation and prevent cartilage damage and joint stiffness.
