Fig. (1) Forty-two year-old patient affected by a malunion of the
proximal phalanx of the third finger of the right hand. A volar
angulation associated with rotation deformity were present (A, B,
C). A corrective in situ osteotomy of the phalanx fixed with plate
and screws was performed, using a lateral approach (D). At the
postoperative clinical and radiographic examinations, the deformity
is corrected well, with a perfect alignment of the third finger (E, F,
G).
