[Open reduction and K-wire fixation of mallet finger injuries: mid-term results].
We evaluated mid-term results of surgical treatment of mallet finger injuries in patients in whom close reduction was not successful. ⋯ An anatomical reduction is essential in mallet finger deformities. Open reduction and internal K-wire fixation can be preferred due to its low complication rate and ease of application in patients whose mallet deformity cannot be treated by closed reduction.
