Abstract

BACKGROUND: Although there is consensus that closed tendinous mallet finger injuries should be treated conservatively, the best method of immobilization to be used is not clear and the existing data in the literature are not conclusive. The aim of this study is to compare the results of four different immobilization methods used in the conservative treatment of tendinous mallet finger injury.
