ABSTRACT
Metacarpal and phalanx fractures are common injuries that can often be managed nonoperatively with satisfactory clinical outcomes. However, loss of normal finger alignment including malrotation and severe angulation as well as intra-articular deformities can lead to functional deficits which may benefit from operative intervention. There are numerous surgical options to correct malunions and the correct choice varies based on the injury pattern, concurrent injuries/complications, and surgeon's preference. While these surgeries can be technically demanding, successful treatment can lead to good results with satisfactory deformity correction and patient function.
