title: [Resection arthroplasty with periosteum-stabilized cartilage transplantation].
abstract: In the typical claw hand deformity following a burn in childhood, the function of the MP-joints can be improved by resection of the metacarpal head and by covering the bone stump by cartilage, pedicled on the periosteum and lifted from the metacarpal head before resection. A "new" metacarpal head will be established, so that the proximal phalanx can glide towards the palm.
