Dual curved incisions for trans-metacarpophalangeal surgery.
Two transverse curved incisions have been used for surgical procedures on all 4-finger MP joints. The edema and hematoma beneath the incision are reduced, and the skin healing is excellent. The exposure is more than sufficient for all the commonly employed surgical procedures on these 4 joints. The final appearance is as good as with a single transverse curved incision.
