Abstract
Reconstruction of the proximal interphalangeal joint by arthroplasty using the Swanson implant is greatly simplified by the volar approach. The extensor tendon system is not violated, making an immediate motion program feasible. Combining this approach with local anesthesia allows for active and complete evaluation of the technique during the operative procedure.Entities:
