Summary

Performing rotational osteotomy on the ulna first, then the radius, yields greater forearm correction (101 degrees) than the reverse order. Single radius osteotomy offers moderate correction (58 degrees).

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Biomechanics
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Forearm rotational deformities can impair function.
  • Accurate rotational correction is crucial for restoring forearm mechanics.
  • Understanding the impact of osteotomy sequence is vital for surgical planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify rotational correction from single vs. dual forearm bone osteotomies in a cadaver model.
  • To determine if the order of stepwise osteotomies affects correction magnitude.

Main Methods:

  • Ten cadaveric forearms underwent induced supination contracture.
  • Osteotomies and fixation were performed sequentially on single or both forearm bones.
  • Forearm pronation was measured using a motion-capture system.

Main Results:

  • Sequential ulna then radius osteotomy yielded significantly more pronation (101°) than radius then ulna (65°).
  • Single radius osteotomy provided moderate correction (58°).
  • Single ulna osteotomy provided minimal correction (15°).

Conclusions:

  • Performing sequential rotational osteotomies of the ulna followed by the radius can achieve approximately 100° of correction.
  • Distal radius osteotomy alone can provide around 60° of correction if less rotation is required.
