Abstract:We present the successful surgical treatment and management of metacarpal synostosis in a near-skeletally mature 15-year-old patient, the significance of which is underscored by an updated review of the literature. We additionally outline a reliable surgical approach for patients with similar clinical presentations and disease severity.
