摘要
Aim: Aim of the presented investigation was to work out the short- and mid-term outcomes after operative treatment of distal phalanx fractures near to the base of type Doyle IVb and IVc (osseous pull out of the extensor tendon) by means of a hook plate in patients with extreme exposure of the hand by athletic activies.
Patients and methods: Between February 2002 and September 2009 77 patients were treated by operation in our hospital by means of a hook plate due to a traumatic fracture of the dorsal distal phalanx near to the base of type Doyle IVb and IVc (osseous pull out of the extensor tendon) by means of a hook plate (Aerni plate/S2-ProngPlate) of Stryker Leibinger. 64 of these 77 patients incur the fracture while exercising sport. 46 of these 64 patients were clinically and radiologically followed up within a retrospective study. To assess the therapy's outcome a specific scoring scheme containing subjective and objective parameters was elaborated in order to gain a transparent result of the treatment.
Results: According to this scoring scheme 84.79% of the patients reached a very good or good result. Nail growth defects by an intraoperative injury of nail matrix represents an essential complication of the presented surgical method.
Conclusion: By means of the presented method in the majority of the cases good or very good results could be achieved. That method represents a simple, safe and less complicate possibility to treat the distal phalanx fractures near to the base type IVb and IVc according to Doyle and it is considered as a useful alternative to other procedures.
