SURGICAL TREATMENT OF METACARPAL SYNOSTOSIS IN CHILDREN

Abstract

Objective: to develop the surgical treatment of patients with congenital metacarpal synostosis. Material and methods. 65 operations were performed in 58 children. with congenital metacarpal synostosis. Surgical intervention was determined by the localization of congenital metacarpal synostosis and the presence of concomitant deformities. Results. Excellent and good results were observed in 69,4% (33 hands) cases, satisfactory - in 30,6% (15 hands), unsatisfactory results were not obtained. At the same time excellent results were obtained in patients with less severe variants of metacarpal synostosis, good treatment results were observed in children with more severe associated abnormalities, as well as in cases where the correction is not performed metacarpal shortening. Overall, the results were significantly (p
