[Treatment of severe callus of the metacarpus and phalanges. Indications and results apropos of a series of 38 patients].

Severe deformities of metacarpals and phalanges, whether isolated or associated with soft tissues lesions impair the hand function and are to be corrected. The authors initial proposal was the fixation after corrective osteotomy by wiring which have been proved to be suitable in the treatment of recent fractures. This technique was used in 25 cases out of 38 treated malunions with 21 satisfactory results. 4 poor results were related to associated lesions of the soft tissues more than to the osteotomy itself. The other 13 malunions were treated by several techniques arthrodeses, callus resections, dynamic splintage, osteotomies with satisfactory results.
