We analysed possible pathophysiology of cubitus varus deformity after supracondylar fracture of the humerus using clinical materials and experimental models. In addition to varus, distal portion of the humerus usually rotates internaly and extends posteriorly. As a result, pronation of the forearm, external rotation of the shoulder and elbow flexion are limited in the patients with cubitus varus deformity.
