Percutaneous Fixation of Unstable Proximal Phalanx Fractures: A Biomechanical Study.

Closed reduction and percutaneous pinning using any of the presented techniques is an adequate method of treatment for unstable proximal phalanx fractures. All of the techniques were equivalent in their ability to resist axial loading, regardless of the complexity of technique, the number of pins used, or finger that was pinned.
