Abstract

We report a case of an 11-year-old girl with bilateral severe Madelung deformity who underwent radial osteotomy with callus distraction. The distal radial articulation was corrected at surgery, and a unilateral fixator was subsequently used for callus distraction. No postoperative complication was noted. The patient did not need any additional surgeries for correction of the deformity. Forty-three months after surgery, the patient had a nearly full range of motion without any pain. Forearm deformity was not noticeable, except for surgical scar on both wrists.
