ABSTRACT
Congenital posteromedial bowing of the tibia is a relatively uncommon condition. It is usually unilateral and is associated with a calcaneovalgus deformity of the foot at birth (Figure 11.1). Its natural history is distinctly different from congenital anterolateral bowing. Posteromedial bowing tends to resolve, to a great extent, spontaneously as the child grows.1-3 Unlike anterolateral bowing, in children with posteromedial bowing there is no risk of the tibia fracturing and a pseudarthrosis developing. Nor is the condition associated with neurofibromatosis or fibrous dysplasia.
