title: Pullout wire fixation together with distal interphalangeal joint Kirschner wire stabilization for acute combined tendon and bone (double level) mallet finger injury.
abstract: This article describes a previously unclassified type of combined tendon/bone mallet finger. This supplements the conventional Doyle classification. The article also describes the technique for surgical treatment of such mallet fingers, which involves the use of a pullout wire with K-wire stabilization of the distal interphalangeal joint.
