Abstract

Suzuki dynamic fixation is one of the excellent methods in management of pylon fractures and fracture dislocations of PIP joints in the fingers. The cost of this surgery is very cheap since it depends on K-Wires in creation of its framework. This technique is very effective in producing good Range of motion of the affected digit if was applied and maintained well. There are some complications that can negatively affect on the outcome especially sliding of the k-wires through their bone track which imbalance the traction and causes painful motion and can also causes pin track infection. Here we mention a simple modification which solve this issue and increase the safety and efficacy of Suzuki dynamic traction.
