Abstract
Correction of the extension deformity of the distal humerus after a malunited supracondylar fracture is a reasonable option for patients older than 10 years with restricted elbow flexion. Preoperative computer simulation and the use of patient-specific instruments can be a useful alternative that enables accurate deformity correction and improves the total range of motion.
