Elastic pneumatic tourniquet cuff versus conventional polyurethane elastomer cuff for hand surgery: a randomized study

Abstract

lent, one good, and one fair result (Figure 2(b)). Mean Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score was 1. We acquired full active flexion of distal interphalangeal joint at final follow-up except for two patients. K-wire fixation with distal interphalangeal joint hyperextension was a useful, reliable, and simple treatment method for chronic tendinous mallet finger deformities, with correctable deformities regardless of previous failed surgery.
