Lateral invaginating Peg (LIP) osteotomy for the correction of post-traumatic cubitus varus deformity

Abstract

Closing wedge osteotomies are the gold standard for the management of post-traumatic cubitus varus deformity. However, most of these osteotomies are fraught with complications such as lateral condylar prominence, instability, and difficulty in correcting internal rotation. We describe a new technique that provides a means for the management of all these problems simultaneously.
