Pins and Rubber Band Traction System and Osteosynthesis With a Hook Plate for the Treatment of Old Fracture-Dislocation of a Toe Application of Hand Operative Techniques in a Foot Operation
The treatment of old fracture-dislocation of a toe is usually difficult. The authors used 2 techniques that are commonly used in finger operations: One is the pins and rubber band traction system, and the other is the hook plate osteosynthesis. They treated a 56-year-old woman using these methods, and obtained a good result.
