leg bowing in children
Röntgenbild
beider Beine bei Morbus Blount bei einem gut 1,5-jährigen Mädchen: Beidseits, links mehr als rechts, zeigt sich eine deutliche Varusdeformität mit Unregelmäßigkeit der Wachstumsfuge und Absenkung der Tibiametaphyse medial. Geringe Schrägstellung der Tibiametaphyse beidseits.

Boy, age 7 years. (Reduced 33£%.) Fig. 1.—Pelvis and Femora. The Roentgenograph shows especially the absorption of thelime salts in the upper epiphysis of the femur, with marked irreg-ularity in the structure of the bone, and a marked coxa vara.Note the greatly decreased density in the lower part of the fem-ora, the beak-shaped outline of the cavity of the pelvis, and thedeformed ilia with a great irregularity of the structure of the bone. A. Points to heavy deposit of cortical bone. The arrow points towards a foreign body, a needle whichwas accidentally found at the examination. Fig. 2. Photograph of the Same Subject.

Leg bowing in children is common and often developmental.
Differential diagnosis
The differential includes:
- developmental bowing
- exaggeration of normal age-related angulation changes at the knee
- neonates and infants normally have varus angulation that gradually corrects within 6 months of walking or by 2 years of age
- changes to valgus angulation at age 2-3 years and reverts to the adult pattern by age 6-7 years
- more common if begin walking at an early age, heavier children, and African-American children
- does not require treatment, but should follow-up to ensure resolution of bowing and ensure that tibia vara does not develop
- congenital bowing
- secondary to abnormal intrauterine position
- localized skeletal dysplasia or fetal vascular insufficiency may play a role in some cases
- usually bowing of tibia/fibula convex posteriorly and medially, less commonly convex laterally
- good prognosis for remodeling during growth, but bracing may be necessary in some cases
- associated leg-length discrepancy is usually seen
- secondary to abnormal intrauterine position
- rickets
- scurvy
- Blount disease
- tibia vara
- metaphyseal-diaphyseal angle >11° (in contrast to <8° in developmental bowing)
- usually unilateral or asymmetric (in contrast to symmetry of developmental bowing)
- focal fibrocartilaginous dysplasia
- neurofibromatosis type 1
- usually anterolateral bowing of the tibia with or without a hypoplastic fibula
- skeletal dysplasias
- osteogenesis imperfecta
- campomelic dysplasia
- hypoplasia of the fibula/fibular hemimelia
- achondroplasia
- hypophosphatasia
- Kniest dysplasia
- osteomyelitis
- syphilis: saber shin
- yaws: boomerang tibia
