ABSTRACT
Posttraumatic cubitus varus is a multiplanar deformity that results from an improperly reduced supracondylar humerus fracture. The prevention of posttraumatic cubitus varus hinges on the stable restoration of all 3 columns of the distal humerus while avoiding malrotation. The collapse of any column leads to varying degrees of deformity in the coronal, sagittal, and/or axial plane. The purpose of this article is to explain the pattern of the deformity and use this to summarize preventative tactics for avoiding its described sequelae. We also summarize, illustrate, and present case examples for the various osteotomies used to correct the deformity, and speculate future directions.
