Our Experience of Dome Osteotomy in Cubitus Varus Associated Triple Deformity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tripple deformity of elbow in association with cubitus varus can be treated by dome osteotomy. In this study we assess the strength of fixation after a dome osteotomy for cubitus varus associated with triple deformity in terms of union and complications. We conclude with this study that dome osteotomy has its own advantages in correcting the deformity for cosmesis and also by not leaving the prominent lateral condyle after deformity correction unlike other osteotomies. Securing the osteotomy with 2 plates provide sufficient rigidity allowing functional mobility and thereby good outcome.

Clinical Outcome of Dome Osteotomy in Cubitus Varus
Cubitus varus or “gunstock” deformity, a common longterm complication of a supracondylar fracture [1]. Components of cubitus varus deformity are: a) medial angulation, b) medial rotation, c) extension of distal fragment with or without d) medial epicondyle epiphyseal injury leading to delayed growth of medial condyle and cubitus varus deformity [2]. It is generally believed that functional impa...
متن کاملCubitus Varus Deformity – Rationale of Treatment and Methods
Cubitus varus is commonest complication of paediatric supracondylar humerus fracture. These deformities are most commonly result of malunion, however avascular necrosis of trochlea or growth arrest of medial physis may also cause the deformity. Cubitus varus mostly presents as cosmetic deformity but it may also cause posterolateral instability, increased risk of secondary fractures, tardy ulna ...

متن کاملCorrection of Cubitus Varus in Young Adult Using Lateral Closing Wedge Osteotomy and Posterior Y Plating
Background: posttraumatic cubitus varus is a common complication after elbow fractures. There are different types of osteotomy and fixation methods used in correction of cubitus varus. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. Patients and method: Ten cases of cubitus varus in young adult treated with lateral closing wedge osteotomy and fixation with posterior Y plate. Preoperative X-ray was t...
متن کاملPosttraumatic progressive cubitus varus deformity managed by lateral column shortening: A novel surgical technique
The outward angulation of elbow with supinated forearm is cubitus varus deformity. This deformity is often seen as sequelae of malunited supracondylar fracture of humerus in paediatric age group of 5e8 years. The deformity is usually non-progressive, but in cases of physeal injury or congenital bony bar formation in the medial condyle of humerus, the deformity is progressive and can be grotesqu...
