In our case, the Steinmann pins provided stable fixation and also facilitated reduction by improving control of the fracture segments containing the pins. The operative exposure and periosteal stripping were minimal and pin removal was easy, although requiring a second general anaesthetic. This method is recommended for a type IV Monteggia injury in a child when closed reduction is unsuccessful.

Pentalateral osteotomy for cubitus varus. Clinical experiences of a new technique.
Several methods for the correction of cubitus varus have been described, but most reported series are small and show a high rate of complications. We report a six-year personal experience of 77 osteotomies by a new technique which provides rigid fixation and allows correction of both varus and rotation deformities. It also prevents lateral bulging at the level of the osteotomy. In 58 cases foll...

متن کاملOur Experience of Dome Osteotomy in Cubitus Varus Associated Triple Deformity

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 pr...
