title: [Personality changes in children treated by the Ilizarov device].
abstract: The treatment of children and youth by Ilizarov's method is very long. During this treatment there appear psychological problems which, on the one hand, are the effects of the features of personality but, on the other hand, they are the effects of emotional lability which is characteristic of adolescence. This paper basing on analysis of questionnaires and chosen personality features attempts to find correlation between these features and the effects of treatment. The obtained findings suggest that patients who are treated by Ilizarov's method should undergo psychological therapy.
