Background: This anatomic study investigated the distal humeral articular surface exposure achievable through a triceps-sparing oblique extra-articular osteotomy of the olecranon with a step-cut modification compared with the anconeus flap transolecranon apex distal chevron osteotomy. In addition, the bone contact surface areas of the osteotomized surfaces after transolecranon and extra-articular osteotomies were compared.
Methods: Seven pairs of fresh adult cadaveric elbow joints were examined.
