Remodeling or Recurrence? Secondary to Radial Dome Osteotomy in Madelung's Deformity: Comment on the Study by Rus et al

Madelung's deformity is characterized by pathology of the ulnar–volar physis of the distal radius leading to cosmetic deformity as well as functional deficit.[1] The treatment of the condition remains a challenge since there is no standardized uniform treatment, and more so, its natural history after a surgical correction is largely unexplored. In this regard, the study by Rus et al delved in to study the same.[2] The study aimed to find if there was any loss of correction over time and concluded that frontal plane parameters remodeled to a certain degree, which was not statistically significant over a mean follow-up period of 20 months.
