On the basis of 7 personal cases of pseudarthrosis and of congenital curvature of the leg reported in detail, including 6 in which consolidation was obtained with a valid follow up (5 cases for more than 14 years), a review is undertaken of the results of surgical techniques. Analysis of these 7 cases and of 82 sufficiently detailed cases from the literature indicate that the transtarsal nailing suggested by Guillemin, combined with corticospongiose grafts, remains the technique of choice. A number of suggestions are made on particular technical points. This method results in consolidation and above all offers the best protection against recurrent fractures whilst retaining a good axis and without interfering with growth. It is the method which limits to a minimum the sequelae of shortening and valgus deformity of the ankle. Indications differ for curvatures and constituted pseudarthroses and the age at which treatment should be started is discussed.
