[Epiphysio-diaphyseal unicondylar reduction osteotomy for the treatment of clinodactyly due to proximal interphalangeal joint malunion].
Epiphysio-diaphyseal unicondylar reduction osteotomy is a simple technique for correcting clinodactyly due to intra articular proximal interphalangeal joint mal-union, with preservation of pre-operative joint mobility. This technique is based on equilibration of the articular surfaces. By means of a conservative approach, a strong osteosynthesis allows immediate rehabilitation. In the two cases presented here, there was realignment of the overall finger axis and preservation of the pre-operative range of movement.
