[Treatment of intraarticular finger fractures with the help of the traction system of "pins and rubbers" according to Y. Suzuki].

The results of treatment of intraarticular finger fractures by means of Y. Suzuki's pins and rubbers traction system are presented. The system consists of 2-3 thin K-wires and 2 rubber bands, is easy to assemble, effective, and less clumsy then the ones applied previously. It also allows for the reduction of palmar displacement of bony fragments. Sixteen intraarticular fractures have been treated. The average total range of motion of the injured PIP joint was 82 degrees at the average follow-up of 8.5 months.
