We reviewed 19 patients who were treated with this technique, at a mean follow-up period of 36 (range, 24-48) months. The mean. extensor lag was 2degrees (range, -7degrees to 13degrees) and the mean flexion range was 70degrees (range, 20degrees-90degrees).eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessOrthopedicsSurgeryArticle0001830908000062-s2.0-003862751822823028B312809653OrthopedicsSurgeryFinger Injuries; Tendons; Wounds And InjuriesAdolescentAdultArticleClinical articleExternal fixatorFemaleFinger injuryFollow upFracture external fixationHumanInterphalangeal jointJoint functionMaleMallet fingerSurgical techniqueTendon surgery
