title: Madelung's deformity: treatment by osteotomy of the radius and Lauenstein procedure.
abstract: A 22-year-old woman with Madelung's deformity was treated by radial osteotomy and a Lauenstein procedure. This technique allows near normal restoration of the distal radius architecture, support of the ulnar side of the carpus, maintenance of forearm pronation and supination, and a satisfactory cosmetic result.
