    <abstract locale="en_US">Background: Proximal humerus shortening and varus can occur secondary to neonatal shoulder septic arthritis and focal fibrocartilage dysplasia. Valgus osteotomy of the proximal humerus compensates for a little bite of shortening, and improves the shoulder joint's range of motion.
&#xD;

Case Report: In this study, we present two patients with severe proximal humerus deformity following glenohumeral septic arthritis. Both of them underwent valgus osteotomy, and had a satisfactory result in terms of range of motions and cosmesis at five years follow-up.
&#xD;

Conclusion: Treatment of varus deformity of proximal humerus is challenging issue. There are few reports of surgical treatment. Sever varus deformity of proximal humerus impacts the motion of shoulder. We reported a novel method of valgus osteotomy of proximal humerus in patients with severe varus deformity secondary to neonatal septic arthritis and long-term clinical follow-up.</abstract>
