    AbstractSupracondylar fractures of the humerus in childhood frequently result in cubitus varus deformity. Pain, functional impairment and cosmetic problems can request surgical correction. This is a report on an adult and on a mature child with such deformities. The boy had sustained three injuries with following bilateral cubitus varus and lengthening of one lower leg. Planning, surgical technique and outcome of the osteotomies are described. We should recommend the resection of a full wedge with two oblique osteotomies and internal fixation with two plates on either side of the humerus.
