Osteotomy - cutting through the humerus near the elbow, realigning the elbow & lower arm relative to the upper arm, followed by fixation with orthopedic implants (plates).
There are several ways to perform the osteotomy. The most common is closing wedge osteotomy. Others are step-cut osteotomy and dome osteotomy. Dome osteotomy makes the most sense because it doesn't lead to slight shortening of the arm compared to the other methods.
I had dome osteotomy done on my left arm to correct cubitus valgus that resulted from a childhood dislocation-cum-fracture. Surgery was done at the Severance Hospital in Seoul, Korea by Dr Choi Yun-Rak. He did a fantastic job.
