The Meniscus Arrow® as a fixation device for the treatment of mallet fractures: results of 50 cases

摘要

BackgroundThe treatment of mallet fractures is a controversial and challenging problem. Generally, mallet fractures are treated conservatively except those involving more than one third of the base of the distal phalanx. Many different surgical fixation techniques have been published. This paper describes a new fixation procedure using ultimate bioresorbable meniscal fixation nails (Meniscus Arrows®).
