Abstract

Some time ago we have put a question why about 20 – 30% of children Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder...

Highlights

  • We describe a corrective fourfold osteotomy nof the radius and ulna in the management of a severely deformed forearm with a limited ROM of Pro-Sup of 0-20-70° using patient-specific guides for accurate spatial positioning and fixation following pre-operative three-dimensional planning

  • Malunion following a distal forearm fracture, especially the radius, is a common complication that may treated by corrective osteotomy surgery [1,2,3]

  • We describe the management of a severely malunited forearm fracture previously inadequately treated via corrective osteotomy

Summary

Introduction

Malunion following a distal forearm fracture, especially the radius, is a common complication that may treated by corrective osteotomy surgery [1,2,3]. We describe the management of a severely malunited forearm fracture previously inadequately treated via corrective osteotomy. In this case, a novel patient-specific plate, which fits the bone geometry and accurately was used to restore bone alignment. On initial presentation clinical and radiological (Figure 1) examination showed a pronounced deformity of the forearm with reduced pro- and supination of 0-20-70°.
