ABSTRACT
We have reviewed 16 patients treated by leg lengthening for various forms of Turner dwarfism with regard to the long period of healing and the complications. We consider that Turner dwarfism is a suitable indication for leg lengthening because of the moderate length deficit and the morphological appearance of the patients, and have introduced an improved programme of management to deal with the problems encountered.
