Volar plate fractures

EP Nance Jr, JJ Kaye and MA Milek

Rupture of the volar plate of the proximal interphalangeal joint, usually secondary to hyper-extension injury, may be accompanied by a radiographically evident avulsion fracture at the base of the middle phalanx. Findings were reviewed in 55 patients with 58 cases of volar plate fracture. This fracture should be specifically looked for in a patient with the typical history, since it may be the only radiographic evidence of a potentially disabling injury.
