Finger/Thumb Distal Phalangeal Fixation (Pinning)

Finger/Thumb Distal Phalangeal Fixation (Pinning) is available through Mark Cuban Companies Health Plan at a published cash price, paid when you book.

Finger/thumb distal phalangeal fixation is a surgical procedure performed to stabilize fractures or injuries involving the distal phalanx, which is the bone at the tip of the finger or thumb. Fractures of the distal phalanx can occur due to trauma, crush injuries, or repetitive stress. During the procedure, the surgeon typically makes a small incision over the fractured area, realigns the broken pieces of the bone (if necessary), and stabilizes them using specialized implants such as pins, wires, screws, or plates. This helps to maintain proper alignment of the fracture, promote healing, and restore function to the finger or thumb. Recovery involves a period of immobilization, followed by physical therapy to regain strength and mobility.
