Evaluation of tautening method in repair of advanced mallet finger without bone fracture.

Many different repair methods have been described in the frequently seen mallet finger deformity, but without consensus. The present study aimed to present an alternative tautening technique in mallet finger repair and to compare it versus classical direct repair. Patients with untreated chronic mallet finger of more than three months' progression, treated surgically between March 2017 and October 2020, were included.
