Unstable extra-articular proximal phalanx fractures are common injuries to the hand that are often treated by closed reduction and percutaneous pinning. Fracture-induced shortening of the proximal phalanx leads to an extensor lag at the proximal interphalangeal joint. We describe a biomechanical study in cadaver hands to compare the ability of each of three different pin configurations to resist shortening in unstable fractures. Seventeen fresh frozen hands were disarticulated at the proximal ends of the metacarpals. The second, third, and four
