Treatment of intra-articular fractures and fracture-dislocations fingers of the wrist in acute and long-distant periods

Abstract

This review is devoted to the problem of treating patients with intra-articular fracture dislocations affecting the finger proximal interphalangeal joint and their consequences. Although these traumas are quite common among hand injuries, there is currently no single universal approach to their treatment. The review was conducted using literature databases, PubMed and eLibrary. The work highlights the joint anatomy, injury mechanisms, diagnostic methods, classification variations, and treatment methods.

Keywords
