Popis: Evidence-based literature on counseling and treatment of pediatric and adolescent patients with posttraumatic deformities is scarce; however, especially around the elbow with its low remodeling potential, the number of patients with malunions presenting in outpatient clinics is not rare at all. In this review the more frequent indications for corrective surgery around the pediatric elbow are described and treatment proposals are made from the perspective of an interregional reference center for pediatric and adolescent trauma.
