Phalangeal fractures are very common, representing approximately 10% of all fractures that present to the emergency room. While many Phalangeal fractures can be treated non-operatively, some do require surgery.

Surgeons will learn to assess and evaluate phalangeal anatomy and fracture geometry. Adjuvant imaging techniques to analyze fracture geometry and plan implant placement, will be discussed in detail.
