Abstract
I experienced a case of humerus varus which was comparatively rare.
The patient was 15 years old high school girl.
Symptoms:
1. Limitation of movement of the left shoulder joint. (80 degrees in abduction.)
2. The left upper arm is 3.5cm shorter than the right.
X-ray photography: Upper humerus end is varum and backward refracted, but no detraction or atrophy of bone.
Treatment: I tried osteotomy at the neck of humerus, transplantation of bone and fixation by plaster cast.
I believe that the defect comes from abnormal growth of proximal epiphyseal plate which has been expounded by many authors.
