title: A new method of extension-block splinting for the proximal interphalangeal joint--Preliminary report.
abstract: Many methods of treating proximal interphalangeal joint volar plate avulsions have been described, and although some of these methods are appealing, they do have certain drawbacks which limit their usefullness. This paper describes a splint which is easily made, covers only the finger involved, and blocks extensions nicely.
