Popis:	Seven patients (six boys and one girl) with ispilateral complex fracture of the femur and tibia are reported. The mean age at the time of fracture was 7.1 years, ranging from 2 to 12 years. Follow-up period ranged from 2 years and 3 months to 6 years 11 months with a near of 3.5 years.Six patients were injured by traffic accidents, of which five were while bicycle riding. We patients received injuries to vital organs. All patients were treated conservatively, except one patient who was operated on with Rush pinning. There was very good fracture healing with no knee contractures developing. The mean angulation after healing was 7.2 degrees in femoral fractures, and 2.3 degrees in tibial fractures. All cases had longitudinal over-growth, and this was especially remarkable after diaphyseal fractures.
