Cubitus varus is the most common complication of supracondylar fracture of the humerus in children. Although function of the elbow is not greatly impaired, the deformity is unsightly. It usually results from malunion, since growth disturbance of the humerus after this fracture is uncommon. The normal carrying angle can be restored by supracondylar osteotomy. This operation was done in 32 patients over a ten-year period, 16 of them using the technique described by French (1959). The results in 27 patients are reviewed in the light of previous reports. French's method proved safe and satisfactory.
肘内翻是儿童肱骨髁上骨折最常见的并发症。虽然肘关节功能不会受到严重损害，但畸形外观不佳。它通常是由骨折愈合不良引起的，因为这种骨折后肱骨生长紊乱并不常见。通过髁上截骨术可恢复正常提携角。在十年期间对32例患者进行了该手术，其中16例采用了French（1959年）描述的技术。根据以前的报告对27例患者的结果进行了回顾。French的方法被证明是安全且令人满意的。
