If the fragment is significantly displaced, or simply rotated, the healing malunion may affect joint kinematics, stability or long term pain issues. Open reduction is typically done but requires violation of the capsule/extensor hood and subsequent scarring with prolonged recovery. Arthroscopic reduction is simple, anatomic, minimally invasive and allows for more rapid recovery with no alteration to the anatomy. It is one of the most common, and ideal, indications for small joint arthroscopy of the hand
