<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">The present retrospective study was done with 11 children having cubitus varus following supracondylar fractures to access the stability of modified domeosteotomy and its fixation with k-wires in older children.</span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">11 children, 7 males & 4 females were included in the study. The osteotomy was performed through posterior approach. The triangular wedge rotated inside the notch was inherently stable and also fixed with k-wires. Patients were followed at regular intervals. K wires were removed at 6 weeks and the physiotherapy started</span>.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">The correction obtained under vision was well maintained post operatively in 10 out of 11 cases. In only one case there was back out of k-wires and loss of correction. 5 cases had excellent result followed by 4 good and one fair result. </span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">Modified dome osteotomy performed through posterior approach and fixed with k-wires gives good results. Removal of the k-wires is simple. However, in children above 14 years plate fixation might be better to prevent loss of correction.</span></p>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
