Abstract
We studied the results of corrective osteotomy for post traumatic cubitus varus deformity in 24 patients. Simple closed wedge osteotomy was performed in 17 cases, and two-dimensional wedge osteotomy in 3 cases. The mean carrying angle was —19.5 degrees pre-operatively and 3.9 degrees at follow-up. The lateral condylar prominence tended to be less obvious at follow-up. The loss of correction during skeletal growth was found in 2 cases, probably due to the existence of physeal injuries.
