title: [Orthopedic management in children with fibrous dysplasia of bone].
abstract: The method and results of treatment in 9 children with fibrous dysplasia of bone and 3 children with Albright syndrome are presented. Curettage and filling of the defect with autologous and/or lyophilized grafts failed in all 5 attempted cases. Due to pathological fracture or deformity Rush nailing combined with multilevel osteotomies has been performed within 5 femoral bones and 4 tibial bones. Healing was undisturbed, neither fracture nor deformity recurred. Valgus osteotomy has been done in 2 children with pseudoarthrosis of the femoral neck. In one case osteotomy healed, in another bony union is not completed yet but the neck-shaft angle remained unchanged. In authors' opinion curettage and grafting proved ineffective; Rush nailing rendered good results in both fracture and deformity treatment.
