![]() | Media file 1: Preoperative wrist posteroanterior radiograph of a 13-year-old girl (patient A) with dyschondrosteosis and Madelung deformity of the wrist. |
![]() | Media file 2: Preoperative lateral wrist radiograph of patient A. |
![]() | Media file 3: Lateral radiograph of elbow of patient A, depicting a dysplastic proximal radius. This is characteristic of dyschondrosteosis. |
![]() | Media file 4: Preoperative anteroposterior radiograph of wrist of patient B. This patient has primary Madelung deformity (no sign of dyschondrosteosis). |
![]() | Media file 5: Preoperative lateral radiograph of wrist of patient B. The flame-shaped radiolucency in the metaphysis of the radius is occupied by the fibrocartilaginous Vickers ligament. |
![]() | Media file 6: Postoperative anteroposterior radiograph of wrist of patient B following Vickers physiolysis. Vickers ligament and the ulnar abnormal physis have been excised. |
![]() | Media file 7: Postoperative lateral radiograph of the wrist of patient B following Vickers physiolysis. |
![]() | Media file 8: Postoperative anteroposterior radiograph from patient A following biplane osteotomy of distal radius and ulnar shortening procedure. |
![]() | Media file 9: Postoperative lateral radiograph from patient A following biplane osteotomy of radius and ulnar shortening procedure. |
![]() | Media file 10: Preoperative photograph of 17-year-old girl (patient C) with idiopathic Madelung deformity. |
![]() | Media file 11: Preoperative photograph of 17-year-old girl (patient C) with idiopathic Madelung deformity. |
![]() | Media file 12: Preoperative posteroanterior radiograph of wrist from patient C. |
![]() | Media file 13: Preoperative lateral radiograph of wrist from patient C. |
![]() | Media file 14: Intraoperative photo of Vickers ligament, outlined in red. |
![]() | Media file 15: Intraoperative color photograph of Vickers ligament. The ligament is outlined in Image 14. |
![]() | Media file 16: Postoperative result in patient C. Compare with preoperative appearance in Image 11. |
![]() | Media file 17: Postoperative lateral radiograph. Note dorsal translation of distal radius after Carter-Ezaki dome osteotomy. |
![]() | Media file 19: Preoperative plan prior to Carter-Ezaki dome osteotomy. Dorsal translation of the distal radius is depicted. |
![]() | Media file 20: Preoperative plan prior to Carter-Ezaki dome osteotomy. Rotation of the distal radius to accomplish both ulnar translation and normalization of radial tilt is depicted. |
