Full description

This study aims to compare conservative treatment versus a new suture anchor technique for bony mallet finger in 29 patients who presented to investigators' clinic between 2013 and 2015. Patients were randomly assigned to conservative or surgical treatment groups. Patients in the conservative group were followed with immobilization with aluminum splint and physical therapy. Patients in the surgical group were treated with investigators' new surgical suture anchor technique and then received physical therapy. The patients were followed for 12 months. Primary study outcomes were extension deficit, days to return to work and DIP flexion.
