Introduction: Modified French osteotomy is commonly used method for the correction of cubitus varus deformity. Fixation of the osteotomy with figure of 8 wiring or 3.5 mm cortical screws were found to be insufficient in holding the distal fragment in children above 8 years. In this study we used a Reconstruction locking plate for the fixation of osteotomy in those children and evaluated the results. Materials and methods: Modified French osteotomy and fixation with reconstruction locking compression plate was performed for eighteen cases of cubitus varus deformity within the time period of 5 years starting from March 2014 to February 2019. Results: The outcome of the study was assessed with Flynn's criteria, where 12 cases had excellent and 6 cases had good outcome. There were no complications and no revision surgeries were performed. Conclusion: Reconstruction locking plate fixation of a modified French osteotomy in older children (above 8 years) provided excellent results in our study.
