| description | Patients with cubitus varus deformity secondary to
malunited supracondylar fracture are at risk for lateral
humeral condylar (LHC) fracture. This report describes a
child presenting with preexisting malunion of supracondylar
fracture presenting along with nonunion of a LHC fracture
following a recent injury. The patient underwent resection
osteotomy of the metaphyseal proximal fragment of the
fracture surface, reduction of the displaced LHC fragment
and screw fixation. This procedure corrected the cubitus
varus and treated the nonunion of the lateral condyle thus
avoiding a supracondylar osteotomy procedure. Treatment
resulted in solid union, good range of motion and no
avascular necrosis. |
