Abstract

Abstract Aim The authors present the clinical case of a surgically treated patient with post-traumatic destruction of the proximal interphalangeal joint of the third finger of the left hand with chondrosarcoma of the proximal phalanx. Methods In the first stage of surgical treatment, the patient underwent total arthroplasty of the proximal interphalangeal joint. Three months later, a fracture of the distal portion of the implant (internal fixation) was diagnosed due to a re-injury to the hand. Result The result was a diagnosis of healed chondromalacia and arthroplasty was performed. Conclusion This surgical procedure is worth promoting
