Treatment of Cubitus Varus Using Tension Band Wiring after the Supracondylar Osteotomy: Dne Yong Han, Hui Wan Park, Dong Eun Shin, Ki Won Suh; J Korean Soc Fract 1997;10(3):678-684. Published online July 31, 1997; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1997.10.3.678

Cubitus varus is the most common angular deformity that results from supracondylar fractures in children. Although this deformity rarely limit elbow function, the correction is frequently requested due to cosmetic problem. This paper was prepared to describe the operative method and to evaluate the clinical results of tension band wirinB after distal humeral supracondylar osteotomy for cubitus varus. The result was evaluated using Oppenheim criteria. Excellent or good cases were 94.4%. We concluded that tension band wiring is a satisfactory method of treatment for cubitus varus.

Supracondylar Osteotomy for Cubitus Vnrus Deformity by Using Plate in Adults: Hyun Ki Yoon, Sung Seok Soe, Young Ku Lee; J Korean Soc Fract 1992;5(2):319-324. Published online November 30, 1992; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1992.5.2.319

Abstract PDF: Cubitus varus deformity is the most common complication of supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children. For the correction of this deformity, three basic types of osteotomies were known. Among them, the lateral closing wedge osteotomy is the easiest, safest and the most stable method. After osteotomy, the methods of fixation are plate fixation, crossed kirschner wires, staple, and French techniques. Between 1987 and 1991, 15 corrective supracondylar osteotomy of the humerus in adults were perromed at department of orthopaedic surgery inje University, Paik hoshpital Pusan, Korea. All were fixed with plate and screws. From this small series of retrospective study, the authors concluded that plate fixation is good method for the prevention of complication after osteotomy and results are satisfactory.
