osteotomy. Menon J. Orthopedics - pcm. [JC:pcm] 13(2):197-200, 1990 Feb. Metacarpal rotational osteotomy was performed in 12 patients to correct rotary malunion following fractures of the phalanges and metacarpals. All but one patient obtained excellent correction of their preoperative deformities. The procedure is simple and gives predictable results.
