The authors present in their case-history two cases when an osseous bridge developed in the space of the distal femur and distal radius. After destruction of the osseous bridge they used for interposition part of a silastic prosthesis of the trapezius to prevent a relapse of the osseous bridge. Although the results are only short-term, in both patients it proved possible by means of the silastic interposition to achieve satisfactory results and to prevent a new adhesion in the affected growth space. Key words: osseous bridge, epiphyseal fractures.
