title: [Post-traumatic deformities of the lower limbs. Pathogenetic and treatment considerations].
abstract: The authors studied post-traumatic deformities of the lower limbs, outlining the main pathological features. Furthermore they describe the different progression of the pathology in adults and children, due to their different capability for adaptation. Finally, they report in detail on their two-years experience in using the Ilizarov external fixator.
