ABSTRACT
(1) Background:
The application of computer-aided planning in the surgical treatment of post-traumatic forearm deformities has been increasingly widening the range of techniques over the last two decades. We present the "flipping-wedge osteotomy", a promising geometrical approach to correct uniapical deformities defined during our experience with virtual surgical planning (VSP); (2)Methods:
a case of post-traumatic distal radius deformity (magnitude 43°) treated with a flipping-wedge osteotomy in an 11-year-old girl is reported, presenting the planning rationale, its geometrical demonstration, and the outcome of the procedure; (3)Results:
surgery achieved correction of both the angular and rotational deformities with a neutral ulnar variance; (4)Conclusions:
flipping-wedge osteotomy may be a viable option to achieve correction in forearm deformities, and it deserves further clinical investigation.
