Surgical Technique: Spike Translation: A New Modification in Step-cut Osteotomy for Cubitus Varus Deformity

摘要

BackgroundVarious methods of osteotomy have been proposed for the treatment of cubitus varus. We designed a modification of the step-cut osteotomy to achieve more correction of the deformity. We describe this new technique called spike translation step-cut osteotomy and report the clinical and radiographic outcomes (deformity correction, ROM, function, osteotomy healing, complications) in a series of patients treated for cubitus varus using this technique.
