N2 - Complex posttraumatic forearm deformities have a significant impact on the integrity of the upper extremity leading to pain, instability in both the proximal and/or distal radioulnar articulation, and reduced range of forearm motion. Corrective osteotomy or more advanced procedures for malunited fractures or other posttraumatic deformities of the upper extremity, especially in the forearm are challenging procedures. In this review we will discuss the essential aspects of anatomy and pathomechanics, clinical and radiological assessment and the pathway from preoperative planning to the actual deformity correction surgery, either with one-stage correction or using gradual lengthening with external fixation ("callotasis techniques") and finally the functional outcome we can expect for our patients. In addition we will analyze the modern computer-assisted techniques available to date.
