  • Title: Minimally Invasive Corrective Osteotomy for Metacarpal Malrotation.
    Author: Duerinckx J, Caekebeke P.
    Journal: Tech Hand Up Extrem Surg; 2021 May 11; 26(1):47-50. PubMed ID: 35179136.
    Abstract:
    Metacarpal fractures can be complicated by malrotation. This can cause functional problems with overriding or underriding of the fingers with flexion. Surgical treatment consists of corrective osteotomy and derotation. This is typically performed open and different techniques for osteotomy and fixation have been described. Postoperative complications include finger stiffness and hardware irritation. We propose a technique for minimally invasive corrective osteotomy of malunited metacarpal fractures with rotational malalignement. Advantages are quick rehabilitation and no prominent hardware.
