Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Pediatric Orthopedics
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Posttraumatic cubitus varus deformity can lead to functional and cosmetic issues.
  • Corrective osteotomy is a common surgical intervention for this condition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of dome-shaped osteotomy for posttraumatic cubitus varus deformity.
  • To compare the advantages of dome-shaped osteotomy with lateral closing wedge osteotomy.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review of 15 patients who underwent corrective dome-shaped osteotomy between 1994 and 1998.
  • Patients were divided into prepuberty and postpuberty groups with different surgical approaches and fixation methods.
  • Follow-up averaged 2 years and 4 months.

Main Results:

  • Significant correction of the carrying angle was achieved, with an average postoperative angle of 10.7 degrees valgus.
  • All osteotomies achieved union without loss of correction.
  • Dome-shaped osteotomy demonstrated advantages in stability, prevention of lateral condyle prominence, and scar cosmesis.

Conclusions:

  • Dome-shaped osteotomy is a stable and effective technique for correcting posttraumatic cubitus varus deformity.
  • It offers superior cosmetic results and avoids complications associated with lateral closing wedge osteotomy.
