Objective:
To discuss the treatment of the windblow hand deformity.
Methods:
We treat 18 patients with operations step by step. First phase: to improve the thumb function; Second phase: shift the flexor digitorum superficialis of the middle and little finger to improve the ulnar drift of the digits; Third phase : to solve the flection deformity of the palm and digits.
Results:
We follow the patients for 6 - 72 months, only lost 3.11 of 15 patients have the thumb function recovered. 9 patients had their ulnar drift of the digits corrected, 2 patients partly corrected, 4 have relapse. 5 among the 15 patients were offered second operation, to have the ulnar arthrosis bursa contracted, using abduction splint, after rehabilitation 4 patients have the deformity corrected, 1 has partly corrected.
Conclusions:
Operation step by step is better for the complex windblow hand deformity, solve one major problem each time,and systemic rehabilitation therapy is needed for satisfied curative effect.

The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
