Abstract
The authors describe 2 originals cases with a painful snap or ''recurr ent'' elbow instability in adults after displaced supracondylar fractu res in childhood, with a malunion in varus and internal rotation, Varu s and internal rotation of the distal humeral epiphysis were responsib le for instability because of elbow kinematic modification. Extra-arti cular osteotomy fixed with a plate allowed pain relief, stability, and range of motion improvement.
