Eighteen acute grade III collateral ligament injuries were treated by using the Mitek bone suture anchor. Seven were thumb metacarpophalangeal joint injuries, and eleven were finger proximal interphalangeal joint injuries. Seventeen patients were followed more than 12 months after surgery. All patients were able to use the digits in daily living activities within 5 weeks after surgery, and return to their original work or sports activities within 12 weeks. Pain was completely relieved in 15 patients. Loss of joint motion averaged 7 degrees. In all joints the postoperative lateral stress angle was within 10 degrees of that of the contralateral digit.
