Rotational Osteotomy of the Humeral Shaft for Malunion in Osteogenesis Imperfecta: A Case Report.
We report a case of an adult with osteogenesis imperfecta, who underwent humeral shaft osteotomy to correct an internal rotation deformity results from a humeral shaft malunion. The patient incurred a temporary radial nerve palsy. Humeral shaft malunion can be successfully treated with rotational osteotomy of the humerus through an anterior approach; however, the risk of radial nerve palsy exists and may be minimized by a posterior approach.
