Malunion of Supracondylar fractures of the Humerus resulting in CubitusVarus is a common complication in our country. It needs correction not only for the cosmetic deformity but also for the other reasons which include increased incidence of posterior-lateral elbow instability, lateral condyle fracture, ulnar nerve friction neuropraxia and shoulder dislocation if not corrected. Many methods have been described but the correction commonly done now is by modified French osteotomy. There are various techniques for modified French osteotomy, but the described Vellore technique do correction at lower level nearest to the CORA, which is ideal. Described is the case which was corrected using Vellore technique.
