Certain degree of cubitus varus is accepted... We can go for surgery like corrective osteotomy once ur elbow growth has completed which usually occur @ 17 yrs of age. Go for surgery if that varus deformity is impeding ur daily activities.

You should get a fresh X ray done to find the exact deformity. Accordingly, surgical intervention will be planned.
