It is well-known, that infants have strong capabilities for repairing fractures. Unlike mature bones, regeneration and repair are much stronger and faster in growing bones. Fractured bones healed with some deformities, such as shortening, lateral and bending displacement, will eventually be remodelled to almost perfect condition within several years after fracture. Many reports have been made in regard to longitudinal growth of fractured bones and remodelling of deformities, but, very few have gone into details to analyze the factors which are believed to be related to the above, such as age, time elapsed, and location, type and displacement of fracture. The actual length of fractured shafts of growing long bones was measured on patients treated at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Kurume University School of Medicine, utilizing scanography as reported by Dr. Inoue of this department. Research was conducted on the relationship between the change of longitudinal growth and the above mentioned factors. Observations were further made on the condition of spontaneous correction of displacement and deformities after the treatment. The results obtained are as follows: The object of the survey: The fractured shafts of long bones in patients under 15 years of age were surveyed in 114 cases, including 63 femurs, 54 tibiae, 6 humeri and 18 forearms. The average age of the patients at the time of injury was 6.1 years, and the average time elapsed after injury was 5.7 years. (Table 1).
