In 101 supracondylar fractures which had happened in childhood the axial deviations with emphasis on subsequent cubitus varus formation were followed-up 6.6 years later. This varus angulation originates mostly from insufficient reposition and/or immobilisation when treating the fracture after the accident. Concerning surgical correction of the deformity we are critical and recommend to be reserved.
