Abstract
Reconstructive surgery of the locomotion apparatus in children has been built from several surgical advances. It is a specific activity that cannot be detached from all other orthopedic pediatric surgery. The care of problems in a child must be provided with a holistic point of view: It cannot be the addition of different techniques done by different surgeons. Bone morphology has a close relationship with the soft tissues; an injury of the envelope has consequences for growth harmony.
