    AbstractSince 1970, 151 cases of mallet finger deformities with an average follow-up of 17 months have been treated with a molded polythene splint. Tendon injuries as well as fracture cases are included. This splint has been found to be highly effective, and open reduction of even major fracture fragments without subluxation of the distal phalanx has not been necessary. Although this splint was first described in 1969, detailed results and techniques have not been described previously.
