Article Synopsis
- The study compares outcomes between two types of finger injuries—bony and tendinous mallet fingers—treated with splints in children, focusing on extensor lag at the distal interphalangeal joint.
- Data was collected retrospectively from 31 pediatric patients, indicating that bony mallet injuries more commonly affect the middle finger and tendinous mallets affect the ring finger, with both injuries being more prevalent in males.
- Despite differences in demographic details, both types of mallet finger injuries showed excellent recovery outcomes, with no significant difference in extension lag or overall assessment scores.
