Commonly used portals. (A) The lateral portals include the proximal anterolateral portal, 2 cm proximal and 1 cm anterior to the lateral epicondyle; the anterior radiocapitellar portal, directly anterior to the radiocapitellar joint (and closest to the radial nerve); and the posterior radiocapitellar, or soft-spot, portal. (B) Medially, the proximal anteromedial portal, 2 cm proximal and anterior to the medial epicondyle, is most widely used. An additional anteromedial portal can be placed 1 cm distal to the proximal anteromedial portal, but its insertion is more difficult because of the more fibrous common flexor origin tendon in the more distal position. (C) Posteriorly, the trans-triceps portal is supplemented with proximal and distal posterolateral portals for retractors and working instruments. Additional portals can be safely placed along the posterior radioulnar interval.

6. Fig 5
(A, B) Intraoperative radiographs after fixation of osteotomy with K-wires. The extension malunion has been corrected, and the anterior humeral line now intersects the capitellum. (C, D) Radiographs at 1-year follow-up. The osteotomy site has healed, and the malunion correction has been maintained.
