Biopsy results showed mainly chronic inflammation, fibrosis, granuloma, and foreign bodies. Conclusions Patient with symptoms of cellulitis, osteomyelitis, and palpable mass in hand for over a month without a diagnosis should be suspected of retained FBs.Background Several approaches to plate fixation of the proximal phalanx have been proposed, such as the dorsal extensor splitting approach and the lateral or dorso-lateral extensor sparing approach, which aims to minimise invasiveness to promote native extensor tendon glide. This study aimed to meta-analyse the outcomes of these two approaches. Methods A systematic review of electronic databases was undertaken, and the outcomes of comparative studies meta-analysed. Results Three studies were included for meta-analysis. Total active motion (TAM) was significantly greater in the extensor sparing group compared to the extensor splitting (Mean difference 8.52 degrees, 95%CI 0.8-16.36, p = 0.03). Conclusions This study demonstrates that there is preliminary evidence favouring the use of extensor sparing approaches when fixing proximal phalanxes - however, this result requires validation with randomised controlled trials.Background Severe flexion contractures of proximal interphalangeal joint of fingers can significantly impair hand function, typically after burn injury recovery. Extensive surgical release exposes deep vital structures, which subsequently requires significant skin coverage. The author presents the results of using bilateral side-finger flaps (wing flaps) and full-thickness skin graft for coverage of the defects. Methods Seven patients (8 fingers) with chronic severe flexion contractures of fingers resulting from burn injury were included. Results Mean flexion contracture and full flexion angles of the joints were improved from 84.4°/93.7° to 4.7°/92.5° at the last follow-up visit
