Abstract:
Cubitus varus (gun stock deformity) is the most common long-term complication resulting from a malunion of a supracondylar fracture of the humerus in children. The reported series of complication varies from 9 to 58%. There are many published papers describing corrective supracondylar osteotomy mainly for children. We describe a method of performing supracondylar osteotomy that produced a very satisfactory result in an adult patient.
