No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Humeral osteotomy is the most effective method for evident cubitus varus correction in children. Several osteotomy methods and fixation materials have been developed in the past. By applying the principles of deformity correction described by Paley, the investigators describe a novel corrective technique for cubitus varus involving lateral osteotomy using Kirschner wires.

Conditions

  • Deformity; Bone

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Paley's Principle osteotomy

. The osteotomy line of all patients was designed according to Paley's principles. The lateral incision was applied in all patients and the osteotomy lines were marked on the humerus with the assistance of C-arm radiographs. An isosceles triangle template was used for osteotomy, and the medial cortex was left intact. K-wires were used to fix the osteotomy laterally.
