Background: Untreated cubitus varus results in cosmetic deformity as well as posterolateral rotatory instability at the elbow if longstanding. French osteotomy with its modifications is the most commonly done osteotomy and relies on a medial intact hinge and these osteotomies fail to address the lateral prominence. Intraoperative fixator assistance to adjust the translation and fine tune the osteotomy is a novel method to address the lateral prominence.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) can be treated with several methods, including surgical and non-surgical techniques. Non-surgical methods include wrist splinting, systemic pharmacotherapy, intracarpal injections of steroids hydrodissection, acupuncture, nerve and tendon mobilization, osteopathy, taping, topical application of ointments, laser, ultrasound and shock-wave therapies. These treatments are generally less effective than surgery, and provide only short-lived effect, but it may be quite sufficient for a certain category of patients, particularly those suffering from mild symptoms.
