Abstract

Extra-articular unstable proximal and middle phalanx fractures are typically managed with surgical means with common complications of tendon tethering, stiffness, and secondary hand dysfunction. As a result, alternative conservative measures are being explored. The use of static linear traction through the application of an orthosis allows for fracture reduction and anatomic healing, with successful range of motion outcomes.
