Case: Three male patients, 8-, 13-, and 18-year-old, all developed posttraumatic cubitus varus elbow deformity after distal humerus supracondylar fractures. Each underwent a distal humerus osteotomy with application of a hexapod external fixator to gradually correct the deformity.
Conclusion: In patients with cubitus varus malunion, the stability of the hexapod external fixation, percutaneous nature of the osteotomy, and availability of running a residual computer-assisted program provides a consistent technique for deformity correction.
