Case:
External fixation has an established use in humeral lengthening and deformity correction. An 11-year-old boy presented with left-sided humeral shortening, proximal varus deformity, and glenohumeral dislocation. Anatomical and functional corrections were achieved through innovative monorail external fixation, including bifocal osteotomies of the surgical neck and diaphysis proximal to the deltoid insertion.
Conclusion:
Monorail external fixation with bifocal osteotomies of the surgical neck and diaphysis proximal to the deltoid insertion may improve the anatomical and functional outcomes in humeral shortening and proximal varus deformity with glenohumeral dislocation.
