Abstract
- Bony mallet finger is treated by from conservative management to various operative options. A lot of internal fixations except hook plate lead to cartilage damage and limitation of motion of distal interphalangeal joint. Thus we introduce Delta(Delta)-wire technique which can permit early joint motion and give strong compression force on the fracture fragment continuously.
