Abstract
We report a case of volar fracture dislocation of the PIP joint. The patient was a 44-year-old man who had been injured when he fell from a motorcycle and sustained a blow to the left ring finger. We performed percutaneous pinning together with external skeletal fixation. After surgery, we performed early ROM exercise for prevention of joint contracture. The fracture healed in osseous union and a good ROM was obtained. We conclude that this method may an effective treatment for this type of injury.
