Pediatric bow leg syndrome

Tibial deformity-osteochondrosis, also known as Blount-Barber syndrome, Blount tibial syndrome, Blount disease, Erlacher-Blount syndrome, aseptic necrosis of the tibial condyle, tibial inversion-tibial deformity Chondropathy, medial or lateral osteochondrosis, Bowlys without rickets, tibial varus syndrome, etc. The normal medial epiphysis of the proximal tibia is under load to disrupt normal growth, causing the proximal metaphysis of the tibia to bend inward. The disease has no ischemic necrosis. There are two types of this disease, namely infantile and juvenile. Infant-type malformations occur within a few years of life, with most being bilateral. Juveniles usually have deformities only when they are 8 to 13 years old, mostly unilateral.
