Volar proximal interphalangeal joint fracture-dislocations are rare injuries. Treatment is challenging when they are not identified acutely, with poor outcomes reported. We report a surgical technique to treat chronic volar proximal interphalangeal joint fracture-dislocations: a reverse hemi-hamate autograft.

Introduction: This case report details the postsurgical rehabilitation and outcome of a 57-year old neurosurgeon who underwent hemi-hamate arthroplasty and volar plate repair for a complex ring finger proximal interphalangeal (PIP) fracture-dislocation sustained after a fall while snowboarding. Following re-rupture and repair of his volar plate, the patient was fitted for a "yoke" relative motion flexor orthosis, termed a JAY (Joint Active Yoke) orthosis, in a manner reverse to that which is commonly used for extensor-related injuries.
Study Design/methods: A 57 yo right hand-dominant male who suffered a complex PIP fracture-dislocation with failed volar plate repair undwent hemi-hamate arthroplasty and early active motion following using a custom-fabricated joint active yoke orthosis.
