Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate the outcomes of corrective osteotomy for malunited fractures of the distal radius, to assess the degree of correction or its loss, if it happened, after bone union, and to compare the clinical and radiographic results with the relevant literature reports. Corrective osteotomy and bone graft insertion are surgical procedures used for the treatment of malunited fractures of the distal radius.
They are indicated in active younger patients with proven symptoms and correlating radiographic evidence. The surgery should be preceded by a thorough radiographic examination and pre-operative planning.
