Background: With respect to the stability of displaced distal-phalanx fracture, the relevance of nail loss and the biomechanical effects of fixation using crossed Kirschner wires have not been investigated. The present study aimed to determine whether the nail or the type of fixation contributes to stabilizing distal-phalanx fracture.
Methods: In 48 specimens (fingers), a model of the comminuted fracture of the distal phalanx (AO type A3) was created by resecting a 1-mm osseous segment from the distal phalanx.
