Case: The golf club deformity is the most notable malreduction that occurs after distal femur fracture fixation. This can lead to disruption of the patient's knee biomechanics, arthritis, and functional deterioration. There is a lack of consensus for optimal treatment of these malunions among the orthopaedic community. We present a technique that uses an osteotomy and ring external fixation with computer-assisted deformity correction and retrograde intramedullary nailing to secure correction.
Conclusion: Our case shows a potential means to achieve a reliable and objective method of measuring, correcting, and securing the fixation of a golf club deformity.
