Background: Camptodactyly refers to a permanent flexion contracture at the proximal interphalangeal joint. Most cases are limited to fifth finger involvement. Although it’s common, but treatment been controversial. Many published studies have emphasized conservative treatment, while others have described surgical procedures. As it presents in several forms there is no single model for effective treatment. The aim of the study is to show that outcome of the surgical management depends on the age of presentation.

Materials and Methods: This study is done in the department of orthopaedics, Mamata medical college, khammam during the period of September 2021 to July 2022 on 6 patients who underwent surgery i.e. FDS release, z plasty and k wire fixation depending on deformity. Each case been followed for 10 months and the results were classified using method from mayo clinicas excellent, good, fair and poor.

Results: Among 6 patients who underwent unilateral surgical correction having all finger deformity, 4 patient of age group ≤ 5achieved good results and 2 patients of age group >17 had poor results.

Conclusion: We utilized the same surgical correction approach on all six children, and we noticed that if the patient comes to us at an early age, surgical corrections result in better outcomes. As a consequence of our research, we have observed that the patients in young age had better prognosis than those who come later in life.
