Seven children with a post-traumatic cubitus varus deformity were treated using the Ilizarov technique of distraction osteogenesis. The outcome was rated as excellent in each case and all were satisfied with the cosmetic appearance. No complications had been encountered by the latest follow-up at a mean of 66.7 months. This technique seems reliable for the treatment of such deformities, provided that it achieves full correction by gradual distraction. Nerve palsy and unsightly scars are avoided, and the range of movement of adjacent joints is preserved.
七名患有创伤后肘内翻畸形的儿童采用Ilizarov牵张成骨技术进行治疗。每例患者的治疗效果均评定为优秀，所有患者对外观均满意。平均随访66.7个月的最新随访结果显示未出现并发症。只要通过逐渐牵张实现完全矫正，该技术对于治疗此类畸形似乎是可靠的。可避免神经麻痹和难看的瘢痕，并且保留相邻关节的活动范围。
