A six-year-old boy was first seen at our hospital in August of 1982. After he first fractured his left leg bones at the age of four years, twe operations were performed without success at the ages of four years and five years.Our choice of operative method was dual tibiofibular intramedullary rodding and slab bone grafting, which was done on September 17th 1982. Postoperatively the extremity was immobilized in a hip spica cast for four months and in above-knee cast for two months. Union of the tibia was achieved six months after operation, and then ambulation with above-knee brace was instituted. Shortning of both the leg bones and femur was demonstrated and was supposed to be caused by non-weight-Bering. Early weight bearing was recommended in order to promote and enhance normal longitudinal growth.
