title: Malunited fractures of the distal radius with volar angulation: corrective osteotomy in 6 cases using the volar approach.
abstract: We treated 6 patients with volarly angulated malunions after distal radius fractures by corrective radius osteotomy via the volar approach. No complications related to this approach were seen. Postoperatively, ulnar head pain was alleviated and forearm rotation was within 10 degrees of normal.
