Seymour Fracture

Surgical treatment may be required in certain cases, such as where there is a Salter-Harris III or IV fracture with a large dorsal fragment of over 50% of the joint surface, or where there is an open fracture. Another specific case is the Seymour fracture (Seymour 1966) where a mallet deformity is associated with avulsion of the nail bed from the epony-chial fold (Fig. 19.5). Reduction of this fracture can only be achieved after removal of interposed nail bed matrix at operation. Another problem fracture occurs where there is a Salter-Harris I or II fracture...
