Arthrodesis or arthroplasty of the PIPJ is apparently the most reliable procedure. K wire seems be the most reliable way to solve this clinical issue, but different implants specifically created to treat PIPJ deformities are being developed, and still have to be tested clinically. The use of screws to fix the PIPJ is a valid alternative, although some problems remain to be solved, specifically pain in relation to the tip of the screw. Longer follow-up studies are needed to increase our knowledge of the treatment of this specific deformity.8en-USRigid claw toesProximal interphalangeal jointLesser toeDeformitiesPIPJArtículo
