{"pk":476,"title":"Intraosseous Vascular Access Device as a Transarticular K-wire Alternative in Mallet Finger Laceration","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Mallet finger is a common injury often treated without operative intervention. When there isconcern for skin integrity or a large articular component is involved, simple operative repair maybe needed. This has been performed with transarticular Kirschner wire (K-wire) placement. Thiscase discusses the novel use of an intraosseous vascular access device (IOVAD) as a potentialadjunct to stabilization and alternative to treatment with operative K-wire fixation. A 53-year-old manwas successfully treated using the inner trocar of the EZ-IO® system for a mallet finger injury withlaceration, shown in comparison with another standard manual pinning approach using an 18-gaugeneedle. An IOVAD can be used successfully as an alternative to K-wire placement in patients withmallet finger injuries.","language":"en","license":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0","short_name":"CC BY 4.0","text":"Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.
