Today, I used the just-released Skeletal Dynamics Locking Hand Nail to treat this transverse, fully displaced proximal phalanx fracture in a 59 year-old-man who fell off his dirt bike. The surgery was performed today at the Specialty Surgical Center in conjunction with The Orthopedic Institute of New Jersey. The nail was used for its rotational control of the transverse fracture and to allow for early motion. I also used the Alafair Biosciences , a plant-based hydrogel to limit tendon adhesions. He will start occupational therapy at IVY Rehab. Kenneth Gershberg was the device representative for both implants.
