Article Synopsis
- A bony mallet thumb is a rare injury, and in this case, it occurred in an 82-year-old man after a fall, leading to a specific fracture in the thumb's distal phalanx.
- Initial conservative treatment was attempted, but surgery became necessary due to the redislocation of the bone fragment.
- The Ishiguro extension block technique, commonly used for bony mallet fingers, was successfully applied in this case, resulting in satisfactory thumb function three months later.
A 57-year-old man fell from a height of 6 m and injured his right foot. Imaging studies showed an uncommon injury; naviculocuneiform and calcaneocuboid joint fracture dislocations. He underwent a temporary fixation with Kirschner wires (K-wires), and the injured foot was immobilized with a below-knee splint.
