• ABSTRACT
    • Volar fracture dislocation is very uncommon, with few series reported in the literature. Patients with such injuries were treated by modified dynamic external fixators. The mean follow-up was 18 months (range, 6 to 92 mo). The mean range of interphalangeal (proximal interphalangeal) joints and distal interphalangeal joints were 90 and 74 degrees, respectively. The total active range of motion (TAM) was excellent (256 degrees). The mean quick disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand score was 1.2. The advantages of our external fixators are that they are simple, cheap, adjustable, and allow immediate range of motion.
