Abstract
The hemicallotasis technique was used to treat the fifth metacarpal in a hand with congenital synostosis of the fourth and fifth metacarpals. Lengthening and correction of the metacarpal were achieved simultaneously. Continuous traction eliminated further soft-tissue procedures. The appearance and function of the hand were much improved.Entities:
