Evaluation of Suzuki Frame Fixation in Comminuted Fractures of the Proximal Interphalangeal Joint.
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Proximal Interphalangeal Joint Fracture
In brief
This prospective randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the functional and radiological outcomes of using the Suzuki frame for treating comminuted intra-articular fractures of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint. The study involves adult patients with PIP joint fractures who will be treated using dynamic joint distraction (ligamentotaxis) via the Suzuki frame. The primary goal is to assess whether this technique facilitates early active finger motion, reduces joint stiffness, and improves long-term functional recovery compared to other methods.
