title: [Arthrodeses of the small finger joints. Clinical studies of results with Kirschner's wire and tension arthrodeses].
abstract: An analysis of a series of 41 consecutive arthrodeses of finger-joints on 39 patients is given. Functional and cosmetic results were satisfactory. We prefer the tension band arthrodesis for its uncomplicated aftercare, the brief period of morbidity and the short period of absence from work.
