This is of the LT ring finger, with DIP joint fusion with screw and removal of hardware was from LT ring finger middle phalanx. Quote from op report, " A 1.6 mm K-wire was drilled at a 15degree angle across the middle phalanx exiting the dorsal proximal middle phalanx. An axial K-wire hole was placed in the distal phalanx and a small incision was made over the distal phalanx. I should also point out that when attempting to make the drill tunnel in the middle phalanx, screws were encountered. Therefore, the incision was extended proximally. The ulnar aspect of the middle phalanx was exposed and previously placed 1.3 mm lag screws were backed out of the middle phalanx. The fusion plate was then reduced. A 24 mm Acutrak fusion screw was then placed across the fusion plate. Excellent stability was noted."
