  • Title: Metacarpal osteotomy for correction of acquired phalangeal rotational deformity.
    Author: Bindra RR, Burke FD.
    Journal: J Hand Surg Am; 2009 Dec; 34(10):1895-9. PubMed ID: 19969197.
    Abstract:
    Symptomatic phalangeal rotation deformities require corrective osteotomy. Surgery at the phalangeal level is technically demanding and has a higher complication rate. We describe the surgical technique of metacarpal base osteotomy for rotation correction of the digit. This technique is simple, allows early rehabilitation, and has a lower complication rate.
