Highlights
Volar lip fractures of the base of the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) are triggered by axial loading and hyperextension injuries causing the volar plate to avulse with a ventral fragment of the base of the middle phalanx [1]
Management of volar fractures of the proximal interphalangeal joints is challenging because the inability to restore the functional range of motion, dexterity, versatility and stability of the joint may compromise the activities of daily living significantly
A functioning index finger is extremely important in hand function; it is essential to achieve an acceptable range of motion postoperatively
Summary
