Seven patients had osteotomy for traumatic varus deformity of the humeral neck following fracture. Indications for the operations were limited active abduction and forward flexion of the arm. The result was good in five cases.

Evaluation of tension-band osteosynthesis for cubitus varus deformity in pediatric patients: A retrospective review.
J Hand Microsurg
March 2025
Pham Ngoc Thach University of Medicine, Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam.
Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of lateral closing wedge osteotomy with tension-band wire fixation for correcting cubitus varus deformity in pediatric patients. The primary objective was to assess the bone union rate, functional outcomes, and potential complications associated with this surgical approach.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of 104 pediatric cases (ages 7-15) with post-traumatic cubitus varus deformity treated between January 2018 and December 2019 at the Pediatric Orthopedic Department.
Spacer-type tibial osteotomy versus open wedge high tibial osteotomy and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty for Kellgren-Lawrence grade 3-4 medial unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis in patients younger than 65 years.

Background: Spacer-type tibial osteotomy have been proven a novel and effective osteotomy to treat osteoarthritis, while lack of comparison with other surgical methods in younger patients. This study aims to evaluate the short-term clinical outcomes of spacer-type tibial osteotomy versus open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) for Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) grade 3-4 osteoarthritis (OA) in patients younger than 65 years.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed a total of 224 patients with K-L grade 3-4 knee OA treated from March 2018 to November 2020.
In functionally aligned total knee arthroplasty, femoral component rotation follows the transepicondylar axis to achieve flexion balance.

Clinical Research Department, Sydney Knee Specialists, Kogarah, New South Wales, Australia.
Purpose: In functionally aligned (FA) total knee arthroplasty (TKA), femoral component rotation (FCR) is personalised to optimise flexion gap balance. As axial malalignment has been attributed to patellofemoral complications, this study assessed FA FCR in relation to the surgical transepicondylar axis (TEA) and early implant survivorship.
Methods: We analysed 446 robotic-assisted primary TKAs in 393 patients using FA with preresection gap balancing.
Evaluating Outcomes of Step-Cut Osteotomy for Pediatric Cubitus Deformities.
J Orthop Case Rep

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, India.
Introduction: Supracondylar fractures in children often result in malunion and subsequent cubitus varus or valgus deformity. While often considered cosmetic, these deformities can lead to pain, functional impairment, and other complications. Corrective osteotomy is a common treatment option, with step-cut osteotomy being a preferred method due to its effectiveness and relative simplicity.

Tianjin Hospital, Tianjin, China.
Varus posteromedial rotatory instability (VPMRI) of the elbow is one of the complex elbow instability. The primary sites of injury encompass fractures of the anteromedial coronoid process and injuries to the lateral collateral ligament of the elbow. Some patients may present with involvement of the medial collateral ligament of the elbow.
