pip volar plate
The volar plate of the PIP joint in the long fingers is a very strong ligament structure that limits passive hyperextension. It can be injured during forced hyperextension of the PIP joint .
The prognosis of isolated volar plate sprains of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint is related to the extension deficit. Some consider an associated avulsion fracture as a sign of severity. The goal of this study was to find out whether the outcomes of conservative treatment in PIP volar plate injury was impacted by the presence of an avulsion fracture.
