    AbstractThis article addresses current approaches for the rehabilitation of distal phalanx and middle phalanx fractures, excluding proximal interphalangeal joint avulsion fractures. Emphasis is placed on establishing the optimal rehabilitation program based on an understanding of the type and location of the fracture, method of fracture management, fracture stability, fracture healing, complications from soft tissue injuries, and recognizing and preventing common problems associated with fractures. Patient case examples and results reported in the literature are included.
