Mean age at time of operation was 10.9 years. Six patients had varus and 2 had valgus deformity. Magnitude of correction, fixator index, complications, carrying angle, and elbow range of motion were assessed. Functional results were graded according to protocol of Bellemore et al.\n\nResults: Mean follow-up was 43 months. Mean preoperative varus deformity in 6 patients was 29.2 and valgus deformity in 2 patients was 28.5. Preoperative flexion and extension of elbow were 123.8 and 10.6, respectively. Mean carrying angle was 9 valgus at last follow-up. Mean flexion and extension were 134.4 and 6.0, respectively. Change in carrying angle was statistically significant (p &amp;frac14; 0.002). There were 2 grade 1 pin tract infections and 1 diaphyseal fracture of humerus. Functional outcome was rated excellent in 7 patients and good in 1 patient.\n\nConclusion: Ilizarov distraction osteogenesis is a valuable alternative in treatment of elbow deformities in children. The surgical technique is simple and correction is adjustable. Gradual correction prevents possible neurovascular complications and minimally invasive surgery produces less scarring. Compliance of patient and family is key factor in the success of the outcome.\n\nLevel of evidence: Level IV, therapeutic study<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.aott.2016.08.019","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,19]],"date-time":"2016-10-19T17:45:49Z","timestamp":1476899149000},"page":"29-33","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/elsevier_cm_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Treatment of post-traumatic elbow deformities in children with the Ilizarov distraction osteogenesis technique"],"prefix":"10.5152","volume":"51","author":[{"given":"Cenk","family":"\u00d6zkan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mehmet","family":"Ali Deveci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mustafa","family":"Tekin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"\u00d6mer","family":"Sunkar Bi\u00e7er","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kadir","family":"G\u00f6k\u00e7e","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mahir","family":"G\u00fcl\u015fen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"3111","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,7]]},"reference":[{"issue":"12","key":"10.1016\/j.aott.2016.08.019_bib1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1615","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.89B12.19361","article-title":"The management of cubitus varus and valgus using ilizarov method","volume":"89","author":"Piskin","year":"2007","journal-title":"J\u00a0Bone Jt Surg Br"},{"issue":"4","key":"10.1016\/j.aott.2016.08.019_bib2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"899","DOI":"10.1007\/s11999-008-0164-0","article-title":"Oblique closing wedge osteotomy and lateral plating for cubitus varus in adults","volume":"466","author":"Gong","year":"2008","journal-title":"Clin Orthop Relat Res"},{"issue":"3","key":"10.1016\/j.aott.2016.08.019_bib3","first-page":"136","article-title":"Two different methods of supracondylar lateral wedge osteotomy in cubitus varus deformity in adults","volume":"20","author":"Kalac\u0131","year":"2009","journal-title":"Eklem Hast Cerrahisi"},{"issue":"7","key":"10.1016\/j.aott.2016.08.019_bib4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1030","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.82B7.10669","article-title":"Treatment of cubitus varus using the Ilizarov technique of distraction osteogenesis","volume":"82","author":"Karatosun","year":"2000","journal-title":"J\u00a0Bone Jt Surg Br"},{"key":"10.1016\/j.aott.2016.08.019_bib5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"445","DOI":"10.1097\/01241398-199807000-00007","article-title":"Cosmetic results of supracondylar osteotomy for correction of cubitus varus","volume":"18","author":"Barrett","year":"1998","journal-title":"J\u00a0Pediatr Orthop"},{"key":"10.1016\/j.aott.2016.08.019_bib6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"327","DOI":"10.1097\/01241398-199105000-00009","article-title":"Three-dimensional osteotomy for cubitus varus after supracondylar fracture of the humerus in children","volume":"11","author":"Usui","year":"1991","journal-title":"J\u00a0Pediatr Orthop"},{"key":"10.1016\/j.aott.2016.08.019_bib7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"859","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.72B5.2211772","article-title":"The lateral condylar prominence.
