Malunion of the lower extremity of the radius is frequently accompanied by a lesion of the inferior radio-ulnar joint marked by inversion of the inferior radio-ulnar index. Surgical treatment must always take this parameter into account and should attempt to correct it. The authors' preference in the treatment of malunion consists of Duparc osteotomy, in which the size of the graft is calculated in order to restore the inferior radio-ulnar index. If the correction is insufficient or in the case of moderate malunion, the authors propose the Kapandji-Sauvé operation which allows better preservation of the wrist stability.
