Abstract
Three cases of Larsen's syndrome in siblings are presented to illustrate a paradigm for the age-related treatment of deformity. Each child presented at a different age, with differing degrees of deformity and growth disturbance. Both growth and remodeling potential influenced the choice of treatment and outcome. The surgeon who undertakes the correction or prevention of these deformities must face the problem of and, it is hoped, use, growth potential from open physes and the progressive loss of remodeling capacity with advancing age.
