Deviation of a finger at the proximal interphalangeal joint caused by juxta-articular exostosis.

Abstract
An exostosis around the interphalangeal joint can cause deformity of a finger. We present two children with deviated fingers as a result of exostoses that developed near the proximal interphalangeal joints and were successfully treated by resection and closed wedge osteotomy.
