Realignment of the Radius in Canine Antebrachial Growth Deformities Treated With Corrective Osteotomy and Bilateral (Type II) External Fixation

Abstract

Varus/valgus angle deformities can be treated successfully with type III external fixation after oblique corrective osteotomy. Patients with significant length or cranial/caudal angle discrepancies or both that negatively impact function may require the use of hinged circular fixators or other dynamic techniques to achieve adequate correction.
