Summary
3D simulation technology enabled precise correction of Madelung deformity through open wedge osteotomy and ulnar shortening. This surgical approach effectively improved wrist alignment and reduced pain, offering excellent long-term outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Medical Imaging
- Biomechanical Analysis
Background:
- Madelung deformity presents complex 3D wrist abnormalities.
- Traditional 2D radiography limits accurate deformity assessment.
- Previous osteotomy techniques often lack precision.
