Volar plate arthroplasty of the proximal interphalangeal joint: a review of ten years' experience.

ABSTRACT
- In 10 years 24 patients had a volar plate advancement arthroplasty for acute or chronic fracture dislocations of the proximal interphalangal joint. Seven were done within 6 weeks of injury, 17 at 6 weeks to 2 years following injury. Final ranges of motion averaged 95 degrees for the former and 78 degrees for the latter group. Radiographs frequently demonstrated a marked remodeling of the disrupted contour of the joint surface of the middle phalanx.
