title: [Has the Ilizarov technique come of age in pediatric orthopedics?].
abstract: The Ilizarov method can be used for several applications: limb lengthening correction of axial malignement, pseudarthrosis, traumatology and in several sites: leg, foot, knee, femur, forearm and arm. The authors recall the principles and possibilities of this method and give details about its utilisation for each indication, and for their preferred indications: lengthening for marked disparity, complex trauma, progressive distraction of soft tissues, and for very young children.
