      This study aims to compare conservative treatment versus a new suture anchor technique for&#xD;
      bony mallet finger in 29 patients who presented to investigators' clinic between 2013 and&#xD;
      2015. Patients were randomly assigned to conservative or surgical treatment groups. Patients&#xD;
      in the conservative group were followed with immobilization with aluminum splint and physical&#xD;
      therapy. Patients in the surgical group were treated with investigators' new surgical suture&#xD;
      anchor technique and then received physical therapy. The patients were followed for 12&#xD;
      months. Primary study outcomes were extension deficit, days to return to work and DIP&#xD;
      flexion.&#xD;
