Progressive Cubitus Varus Due to a Bony Physeal Bar in a 4-Year-Old Girl Following a Supracondylar Fracture

Abstract

We report a case of progressive cubitus varus deformity caused by a physeal bar following a supracondylar humeral fracture in a 4-year-old girl. Malreduction is thought to be the commonest cause of this deformity, which is nonprogressive. A corrective osteotomy in cases like ours should be deferred until skeletal maturity.
