Zusammenfassung

Six cases of Madelung's deformity in 4 teenagers women are presented (2 patients had affected both wrists). They were treated surgically performing an osteotomy at level of the distal radius, associated or not to a resection of the distal part of the ulna. The fixing method was a T volar plate in 4 of the cases and an external fixation device in the 2 remaining cases. The results were usually good, as much at the functional as cosmetic plane, although they were slightly better when a T volar plate was used as fixation system and when the resection of the distal ulna was associated during the surgical operation
