From: Treatment outcome of tardy ulnar nerve palsy associated with traumatic cubitus valgus by supracondylar shortening wedge rotary osteotomy and ulnar nerve in situ tension release

Fig. 2

a A 28 year old male (patient 1) had cubitus valgus deformity (HEW angle, 28 degrees) and severe tardy ulnar nerve palsy due to traumatic elbow joint injury. b.c The supracondylar shortening wedge rotary osteotomy combined with in situ tension release of ulnar nerve was performed. HEW angle was corrected to 12 degrees postoperative, and the effect of deformity correction was excellent. d Intraoperatively, the ulnar nerve was variably edematous and pale at the level of the deformity evident
