derotation osteotomy utilizing Kirschner wires for the correction of congenital proximal radioulnar synostosis
The level of distal radial and proximal ulnar osteotomies is determined under C- arm. A k-wire is inserted in the outer border of the metaphysis of the radius distal to the level of the osteotomy, engaging and transfixing the radioulnar joint, small skin incision is made over the dorsal aspect of the forearm at the level of distal radial osteotomy, dissection of subcutaneous tissue with good exposure of the extensor tendons, transverse osteotomy is done using 2.5 mm drill bit and small sharp osteotme, allowing derotation movement of the distal part of the radius using the k-wire. Another small skin incision is made over the level of proximal ulnar osteotomy, dissection of subcutaneous tissue, another ulnar transverse osteotomy is done distal to the level of the proximal radioulnar synostosis. Derotaion of the forearm is adjusted in the functional position of the forearm in around (10˚:20˚supination), wound closure using absorbable Vicryl sutures. Above elbow cast is used f
