Year: 2026

Abstract: Eighteen patients with a proximal interphalangeal joint fracture-dislocation involving at least half of the palmar articular surface were treated with hemihamate arthroplasty, achieving a mean of 70° flexion at 14 months. This technique is an effective option for complex injuries. Level of Evidence: IV
