To achieve maximal stability, the decision was made to use the 5.5mm cortical screw system. The drilling direction was established by using hypodermic needles under radiographic guidance. The first incision was made centrodorsal on P2, splitting the extensor tendon along its length fo...
e. those with a central gap of more than 2 mm, were prospectively treated by open reduction and osteosynthesis with a metaphyseal lag screw beginning 1974. Sixty-six patients (41 boys, 25 girls) with an average follow-up of 10 years (2鈥 22 years) sustained 28 primary and 6 secondary ...
