An overview of forms and localization of falsely healed fractures and possibilities for their correction is presented. In contrast to statically loaded lower limbs, posttraumatic arthrosis due to false position of the upper limbs is less common. In these cases indication for corrective osteotomy is aimed above all at improving the limb function. Central restorative measures are corrective osteotomy following falsely healed supracondylar humerus fractures in childhood and open wedge osteotomy of distal radius fractures. Even minimal axial deviations in the lower limbs will lead to false loading of joint surfaces and to early arthrosis, thus corrective osteotomy is indicated at a much earlier stage.
