Finger Nail

Ninety-one consecutive patients with 98 metacarpal fractures were looked at prospectively for rotational deformity. Whilst a quarter had minor rotation of the fracture of less than 10°, only five had more than this. In just two cases, was there rotational instability requiring operative intervention. Assessment of rotational deformity must include an end-on view of the finger-nail, as there is often restricted movement at the metacarpal phalangeal joint following fracture.

Clinically Significant

Intramedullary nailing has become the treatment of choice for diaphyseal femur fractures. Malrotation is a well-recognized complication of femoral nailing. Various techniques including the cortical step sign (CSS) have been described to minimize iatrogenic rotational deformity during femoral nailing. We present a case in which the use of the CSS resulted in a clinically significant malrotation requiring revision.
