We present a new and simple technique for the treatment of proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint contractures by mini Orthofix external fixator without open surgery. The technique was tested on 10 patients. We found that the fixator is easy to apply and effective in reducing contractures of the PIP joint by soft tissue distraction.
我们介绍一种新的简单技术,用于通过微型Orthofix外固定器治疗近端指间(PIP)关节挛缩,无需开放手术。该技术在10例患者身上进行了测试。我们发现该固定器易于应用,并且通过软组织牵张在减少PIP关节挛缩方面有效。
