A retrospective study of closed extension block pinning for mallet fractures: Analysis of predictors of postoperative range of motion.

Background: Extension block pinning is a simple and reliable technique for mallet fractures, but poor results are sometimes obtained. The predictors of postoperative range of motion after extension block pinning of mallet fingers were investigated.

Methods: The outcomes for postoperative active motion of the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint, such as flexion angle, extension loss, and total range of motion, were examined.

Successful treatment of a fracture of a huge Achilles tendon ossification with autologous hamstring tendon graft and gastrocnemius fascia flap: a case report.

Background: Fracture of an ossified Achilles tendon is a rare entity, and no standard treatment has been established. This is the first report to describe the use of a hamstring tendon graft and gastrocnemius fascia flap for Achilles tendon reconstruction.

Case Presentation: We present the case of a 50-year-old woman with fracture of an ossified Achilles tendon.

Rupture of the extensor pollicis longus tendon in trapeziometacarpal joint osteoarthritis: case report.

We report a case of rupture of the EPL tendon that occurred in a patient with trapeziometacarpal joint osteoarthritis. We assume that the rupture was secondary to attrition caused by a bony protrusion of advanced trapeziometacarpal joint osteoarthritis.
