    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Reconstructive surgery

    Background:

    • Digital deformities are frequently corrected using arthroplasty.
    • Contradictory surgical techniques are described in medical literature, complicating procedure selection.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To clarify the optimal surgical approach for digital deformities.
    • To provide guidance on achieving functional and cosmetic goals while minimizing recurrence.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on arthroplasty for digital deformities.
    • Analysis of surgical techniques and their outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Arthroplasty is the most common method for correcting digital deformities.
    • Standardizing the choice of procedure remains a challenge due to varied techniques.

    Conclusions:

    • The primary aims of surgical correction are functional preservation, aesthetic improvement, and long-term recurrence avoidance.
    • Further clarification of standardized arthroplasty techniques is needed for consistent patient outcomes.
