“…Surgeons have debated about whether it is preferable to correct the malunion at the site of the fracture 4,12 or to perform a corrective procedure at a separate site 10,13 . For instance, malrotation of a phalangeal fracture can be addressed with a rotational osteotomy of the metacarpal [13][14][15][16] .…”

“…Surgeons have debated about whether it is preferable to correct the malunion at the site of the fracture 4,12 or to perform a corrective procedure at a separate site 10,13 . For instance, malrotation of a phalangeal fracture can be addressed with a rotational osteotomy of the metacarpal [13][14][15][16] . The advantages of correction at the site of the original fracture are that the procedure can address combined deformity, provide the ability to perform tenolysis and capsulolysis, and avoid the zigzag finger deformity that can occur when a compensatory deformity is intentionally created at the metacarpal to address a phalangeal deformity 4 .…”

“…1 His technique involved osteotomy at the proximal fourth of the metacarpal with K-wire fixation and early postoperative mobilization. Besides avoiding the issues detailed earlier, osteotomies at the metaphyseal bone at the base of the metacarpal heal readily, and the osteotomy can be secured with plate fixation with lesser risk of extensor adhesions.…”

“…Las osteotomías desrotadoras o de cuña en cierre a nivel del cuello de la falange son las más utilizadas. La corrección de la rotación mediante osteotomía correctora a nivel del metacarpiano, ha sido utilizada por autores como Weckesser 26 , Bindra 27 y otros [28][29][30][31][32] .…”
