Clinical investigation reports on pins and rubber traction system outcomes in distal interphalangeal joint fractures, highlighting potential utility for comminuted intra-articular injuries.
The pins and rubber traction system (PRTS) has proven effective in managing intra-articular fractures of the proximal interphalangeal joint. However, there is scant evidence in the literature regarding its efficacy in treating distal interphalangeal joint (DIPJ). This study aims to investigate the outcomes of PRTS in the treatment of comminuted intra-articular fractures of the DIPJ.
