Determination of the internal loads experienced by proximal phalanx fracture fixations during rehabilitation exercises.

Phalangeal fractures are common, particularly in younger patients, leading to a large economic burden due to higher incident rates among patients of working age. In traumatic cases where the fracture may be unstable, plate fixation has grown in popularity due to its greater construct rigidity. However, these metal plates have increased reoperation rates due to inflammation of the surrounding soft tissue. To overcome these challenges, a novel osteosynthesis platform, AdhFix, has been developed. This method uses a light-curable polymer that can be shaped
