  • Title: Blount's disease: a lesser known cause of bowlegs mandating early differentiation from physiological bowing.
    Author: Jain N, Narain S, Gupta AK, Nag HL, Kabra SK.
    Journal: Indian J Pediatr; 2002 Feb; 69(2):189-91. PubMed ID: 11929037.
    Abstract:
    We present a 16-month-old child, with progressively increasing bowing of legs, having a normal serum calcium, phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase level; lower limb radiographs revealed bilateral medial tibial metaphyseal beaking. Based on these findings, a diagnosis of Blount's disease (infantile tibia vara) was made and an orthotic management program was instituted for the child.
