title: [Congenital antero-lateral bow of the tibia--description of three cases].
abstract: Three cases of antero-lateral bow of the tibia has been presented, all of them had fracture of the tibia during observation. Age of patients varied from 1 to 4 years. In all cases the method of Ilizarov was used for axis correction. Elastic intramedullary nailing of the tibia was performed after axis correction. Good results encourage the usage of Ilizarov's method in the treatment of antero-lateral bow of the tibia in small children.
