title: [Osseous extensor tendon rupture of the finger joint: surgical technique and results].
abstract: Mostly mallet finger can be treated conservatively. In cases of fracture of the distal phalanx open reduction and fixation is recommended. We favour the well-established cerclage, yet perform it in a more comfortable way with the use of cannulated drilling. This technique was applied on 13 patients even with lesions several weeks old. The evaluation 5-16 months postoperatively based on radiological, clinical and subjective criteria. We present the technique and the results followed by the discussion of the advantages over conservative and other operative managements.
