Abstract
1) A follow-up study was performed on two patients whose femoral shaft fractures caused by traffic accidents were cured by conservative treatment ten years earlier, in their infancy. The present paper reports the course of their treatment, and hyperosteogeny in the affected femur and scoliosis.
2) Both patients presented with hyperosteogeny in the fractured femur. Scoliosis due to a difference in leg length was also noted in both, one of whom showed flexion of 24 degrees at the lumbar region as assessed by Cobb's method.
3) The paper also discusses height supplementation to correct the difference in leg length in order to prevent scoliosis.
