4. The lesion has a good prognosis and responds well to simple curettage.

1. "Reed" osteotomy has proved a satisfactory method for the correction of torsional deformity of the tibia and of associated minor varus or valgus deformity.

2. It is an "osteotomy in continuity" and maintains stability of the bone.

3. The position of the limb may be adjusted at the first change of plaster.

4. Three cases of non-union occurred in thirty-eight operations.

5. The operation should not be done on adults. Perhaps it may be wise to reserve it for even younger patients because its success depends on the pliability of cortical bone, which rapidly diminishes with increasing age.
