METHODS: In a retrospective study, we sent a self-designed template and a QUICK-DASH score questionnaire to all patients, who were treated because of a bony mallet finger between 2009 and 2022 and fulfilled the inclusion criteria. A total of 244 requests were sent out. 72 (29.5%) patients participated in the study. Forty-five men and twenty-seven women were included.
RESULTS: 98.7% (n = 75) of the cases were successfully treated. Patients were highly satisfied with the treatment (median 8.0; SD ± 2.9; range 1.0-10.0). Based on the QUICK-DASH score, all patients showed no difficulties in daily life. The extent of avulsion did not influence the outcome.
CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that the minimally invasive treatment of a bony mallet finger should be offered to every patient, because it is safe, fast, and reliable. Thus, we propose to perform extension-block pinning independently of the articular area.
方法:在一项回顾性研究中,我们向所有患者发送了自行设计的模板和QUICK-DASH评分问卷,他们在2009年至2022年间因骨槌手指而接受治疗,并符合纳入标准。总共发送了244个请求。72名(29.5%)患者参加了研究。包括45名男性和27名女性。
结果:98.7%(n=75)的病例治疗成功。患者对治疗非常满意(中位数8.0;SD±2.9;范围1.0-10.0)。根据QUICK-DASH评分,所有患者在日常生活中没有出现困难。撕脱的程度不影响结果。
结论:我们得出结论,骨槌指的微创治疗应该提供给每个患者,因为它很安全,快,和可靠的。因此,我们建议独立于关节区域进行延伸阻滞钉扎。
