PURPOSE: To evaluate an extra-articular osteotomy rather than an intra-articular osteotomy in the treatment of malunited unicondylar fractures of the proximal phalanx.
METHODS: An extra-articular osteotomy was used to correct the deformity resulting from a malunion of a unicondylar fracture of the proximal phalanx in 5 patients. A closing wedge osteotomy that was stabilized with tension band fixation accomplished realignment of the joint. Each patient was evaluated at a minimum of 1 year after surgery for radiographic healing, correction of angulation, digital motion, postoperative complications, current level of pain with motion, and overall satisfaction with the procedure.
RESULTS: All of the osteotomies healed by 10 to 12 weeks after surgery with an average angular correction from 25 degrees to 1 degrees . The average proximal interphalangeal joint motion improved to 86 degrees from the preoperative average of 40 degrees , whereas the average total digital motion improved from 154 degrees before surgery to 204 degrees at follow-up evaluation.
CONCLUSIONS: This method of extra-articular osteotomy for malunited unicondylar fractures of the proximal phalanx is highly reproducible, avoids the risks of intra-articular surgery, and leads to a predictable outcome.
