A correction of windswept deformity by fixator assisted nailing. A report of two cases.

We report two cases with windswept deformities of the lower extremities. All deformities were corrected by fixator-assisted intramedullary nailing. At the latest follow-up, the patients had normal alignment, without symptoms and no loss of correction.
