Trapezoidal Osteotomy for Treatment of Long-Standing Nonunion of Lateral Humeral Condyle Fracture With Cubitus Valgus Deformity
Purpose
Long-term nonunion of the lateral humerus condyle fracture may lead to progressive cubitus valgus, elbow pain and instability, and secondary ulnar neuritis. A number of techniques of osteotomy are available for correction, but each has its disadvantages. The aim of this study was to present a technique of medial trapezoidal osteotomy for correcting nonunion of the lateral humeral condyle with an elbow valgus deformity >20°.
Methods
Eight patients (mean age, 7.5 years) with cubitus valgus, after neglected nonunion of a lateral humeral condyle fracture of greater than 2 years duration, were treated with trapezoidal combined osteotomy. The mean interval from the lateral condylar fracture to surgery was 3.1 years. The osteotomy lines were marked on the bone with a template made before surgery. The lateral condyle and osteotomy site were fixed with K-wires, and the elbow joint was immobilized in a plaster brace. Pre- and postoperative carrying angles, range of motion, elbow function, and ulnar nerve neuropathy were analyzed.
Results
The mean follow-up was 5.9 years. Union of the lateral condyle was achieved in all patients; 3 healed at 8 weeks, 2 healed at 9 weeks, 2 healed at 10 weeks, and 1 healed at 12 weeks. The mean carrying angle decreased from 30.1° before surgery to 5.8° after surgery. The surgery did not reduce the range of motion at the elbow. According to the Mayo Elbow Performance Score, 6 patients had excellent elbow function, and 2 had good elbow function at the last follow-up. All preoperative ulnar nerve symptoms resolved. One patient had a mild surgical site infection. No other complications occurred.
Conclusions
Medial trapezoidal osteotomy appears to be an effective method for treating nonunion of lateral humeral epicondyle fracture with cubitus valgus deformity.
