    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Hand Surgery
    • Bone Grafting Techniques

    Background:

    • Digital joint arthrodesis is crucial for restoring function after severe bone loss.
    • Traditional methods may compromise finger length or stability.
    • A novel approach is needed to address these limitations.

    Observation:

    • A technique utilizing an angulated bone peg was applied in two patients with significant digital bone defects.
    • The bone graft was shaped into a precise angulated peg to fit the joint gap.
    • The peg was inserted bilaterally to bridge the bone defect.

    Findings:

    • The angulated bone peg technique effectively restored digital joint length.
    • The method maintained the required joint angulation for optimal function.
