A patient came to us after a serious hand injury that occurred while working in their backyard with a saw. Upon being admitted to the ER, patient was diagnosed with a IF P1 fracture, PIP dislocation, and central slip laceration. Same day patient had emergency surgery for wound irrigation and debridement, CRPP of proximal phalanx, and central slip repair.
After 2.5 months of dedicated hand therapy, the patient has made excellent progress and has significantly improved the range of motion in their index finger.
Cases like this highlight how timely surgical care and focused rehabilitation can make a meaningful difference in recovery.
