    Abstract:
    In the period 1987-1993, 13 patients were treated for both infected and non-infected long bone pseudoarthrosis by Ilizarov method. The records and radiographs of nine boys and four girls, with the age ranging from 7 to 16 years, with an average of 12.3 years, were reviewed. All but one concerned the tibia. In one case the pseudoarthrosis was localized in the humerus. Ten were infected. Ten had bone loss, all in the tibia, 2.5 to 8.0 cm in the extension of. All the results were considered good and the complications observed were few and not related with the treatment.
