Osteotomy of the Distal Humerus – Cubitus Varus

Correction of cubitus varus after supracondylar fracture represents a technical challenge in orthopedics. This training offers a practical and scientific approach to mastering distal humerus osteotomy, using three-dimensional planning with printed models, surgical templates, and fixation with locking plates, presented in an objective and highly visual format.

Training Focus:

• Preoperative planning using 3D printing and surgical template;
• Strategic positioning for exposure of the distal humerus;
• Identification, release, and anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve;
• Guided osteotomy and fixation with locking plates;
• Post-operative assessment focusing on stability and alignment.

Detailed Content:

• Precise Three-Dimensional Planning: reducing intraoperative risks and ensuring anatomical accuracy;
• Safe Exposure of the Distal Humerus: muscle preservation and optimization of surgical access;
• Advanced Neurological Protection: anterior release and transposition of the ulnar nerve to prevent complications;
• Guided Osteotomy: angle correction with axial alignment and biomechanical stability;
• Stable Locking Fixation: systematic sequence of plates and screws for maximum security;
• Anatomical Functional Closure: aesthetic preservation and accelerated recovery;
• Objective Postoperative Assessment: effective correction with minimal morbidity.

Materials Included:

Detailed PDF: the supplementary material presents preoperative planning protocols with 3D printing, techniques for exposure and protection of the ulnar nerve, step-by-step guide to template-guided osteotomy, locking fixation strategies, and recommendations for postoperative evaluation.
