An intramedullary 1.2-mm K-wire is put through the distal phalanx percutaneously. A second threaded wire is introduced perpendicularly to the long axis of the middle phalanx from a dorsal approach and abuts the volar cortex to respect the flexor tendon. Both wires are bent and fixed together with two connectors.
