Abstract
The technique of 1-stage elongation of a short third or fourth metacarpal through the palmar approach was devised to avoid the drawbacks of the conventional procedures through the dorsal approach with or without using an external fixator. This technique was used in the treatment of 3 cases and the results and the technique are described.
