- Abstract
- Avulsion fracture of the volar base of the distal phalanx is a rare injury. Zone 1 flexor tendon injuries can be treated with either internal or external fixation techniques. Pull-out suture repairs are often used for FDP tendon avulsion injuries. However, the pull out suture technique is associated with a number of well documented complications including nail bed injury and pressure necrosis. Despite the variety of techniques available for the repair of acute distal zone 1 flexor tendon injuries, no one technique has proven to be superior to all others. We address our experience with treatment of FDP avulsion injuries using suture anchor and miniscrew. Our technique supplements the suture anchor technique, which often causes a lack of strength, with an additional miniscrew. We introduce two cases of combined method using both suture anchor and miniscrew for treatment of FDP avulsion injuries.
