[Distraction lengthening of a hypoplastic fourth metacarpal bone: a case report]
Abstract:
A 17 year old female guitar player with congenital shortening of the fourth metacarpal in the right hand was successfully treated by distraction lengthening. The fourth metacarpal was lengthened by 22 mm (36%) without complications. The lengthening improved the function and cosmesis of the hand.
