Schematic diagram of the Paley’s principles for cubitus varus deformity correction. A The deformity is in the red area, the blue line shows the proximal and distal anatomic axes (PAA and DAA, respectively), and the dotted blue line passes through the center of rotation of angulation (CORA) at the intersection of the PAA and DAA. B The image shows the deformity (red area) after correction. The PAA and DAA are in a straight line. C The upper black area was removed. D The image shows the result of the removal of the upper black area. The PAA and DAA are not in a straight line but run parallel to each other. E The upper black area was removed. F The image shows the results of the removal of the upper black area. The PAA and DAA are in a straight line
