Abstract: | Five children with congenital posteromedial bowing of the tibia and fibula and 1 child with posterior bowing of the tibia and fibula have been followed-up. At the final examination age of the patients ranged from 6 months of 16 years (mean 69 months). In most of the cases the angulation had a tendency to decrease, shortening of the tibia remained constant. Pseudoarthrosis appeared in one of the children in 4th month of life at distal tibial diaphysis/metaphysis junction but healed spontaneously in 13 months time. |
