| Popis: | We present the case of an 11-year-old girl who had a corrective osteotomy reconstruction using absorbable implants for a malunited capitellar fracture 3-1/2 months after a dislocation of her elbow joint. This operative stabilization enabled early joint mobilization and, finally, excellent results in terms of anatomy and function at a 2-year follow-up. We were not able to find any similar report in the English literature dealing with corrective osteotomy reconstruction using absorbable implant fixation for a malunited capitellum in a child. |
