Abstract
We report a case of a traumatic proximal interphalangeal joint injury with loss of the middle phalangeal base and articular surface, which was reconstructed with an autologous hemi-toe osteochondral graft. The patient had a 72°improvement in proximal interphalangeal joint motion and excellent functional improvements. Postoperative computed tomography imaging indicated bony union and articular congruence.
