Translation Step-cut Osteotomy for the Treatment of Posttraumatic Cubitus Varus

The translation step-cut osteotomy reliably corrects the coronal plane angular deformity associated with cubitus varus, resulting in excellent outcomes in technical, functional, and satisfaction domains. The osteotomy is relatively simple to perform, and is inherently more stable than other proposed methods. It also minimizes the prominence of the lateral condyle associated with simple lateral closing wedge osteotomy.
