“…Several studies have reported postoperative OA. However, there is a lack of research about the causes of the disease [17][18][19]. One patient out of 19 patients who received extension block method presented with OA in a study of Acar et al [19].…”

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate osteoarthritis after treatment of bony mallet finger using the extension block method.Methods: A single institutional retrospective review identified 163 patients with bony mallet between January 2012 and July 2020 and received surgical treatment using extension block method. The radiographic examination showed that the fracture line disappeared and a bridging callus was formed and bone union was confirmed. Fractures were classified according to the Tubiana classification method. Demographic data, fracture pattern, postoperative X-ray, and late complications were analyzed. Clinical outcomes were analyzed using Crawford’s criteria.Results: Surgical treatment was performed within an average of 8.8 days after injury, and the average follow-up period was 11.6 weeks. Osteoarthritis findings were confirmed by joint space narrowing and osteophytes on radiographic examination of 32 out of 163 patients. Age, sex, occupation, location of trauma, operation time, and type of fracture did not affect the osteoarthritis after extension block. Invasion of Kirschner wire (K-wire) to the fracture surface, family history of osteoarthritis, and operation time turned out to have a statistically significant effect on osteoarthritis (p<0.05).Conclusions: Fracture surface invasion of K-wire and family history of osteoarthritis affect osteoarthritis after treatment of bony mallet.

Purpose:The purpose was to describe comparative analysis of the surgical outcome of percutaneous K-wire fixation of bony mallet fingers reduced with towel clip and 18-gauge needle. Methods:We analyzed the bony mallet finger patients with more than twelve months follow-up after percutaneous K-wire fixation. The patients were randomly divided into two groups. Eighteen fingers were treated with closed reduction using towel clip and 18 other fingers were treated with closed reduction using 18-gauge needle.Results: Radiographs showed bony union and no subluxation in all cases after K-wire removal. The average extension lag was 2.8°/1.9°, and range of motion of distal interphalangeal joint was 70.3°/75°respectively. According to Crawford's criteria, excellent results were obtained in 9/11 fingers, good results in 8/7 fingers, and poor result in 1/0 finger, respectively. Conclusion:18-gauge needle reduction in percutaneous K-wire fixation is considered less invasive and useful method for treatment of bony mallet finger with comparable results with towel clip reduction.
