Abstract
Two cases of symptomatic distal phalangeal fracture nonunion that were treated with a course of digital splinting and daily external low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) treatment are presented. Osseous union, symptom resolution, and full range of motion were successfully achieved in both cases without surgery. Digital splinting and daily LIPUS should be considered as a treatment option for symptomatic nonunion of the distal phalanx in cases that do not require correction of bone deformity.
