[Surgical treatment of freshly closed articular fractures of proximal interphalangeal joints].
Eleven fractures of the base of P2 and 8 fractures of the head of P1 were treated surgically. We review the results after a mean follow-up of 4 years 5 months. Due to their complexity is no real consensus on the treatment of P2 and various treatments were used. This series demonstrated two points: first the was no correlation between the degree of patient satisfaction and the section of digital immobilization; second, residual subluxation and/or arthrosic remodeling was frequent but was not incompatible with a good objective and subjective outcome.
