title: [Congenital bowing and pseudoarthrosis of the tibia in children].
abstract: Congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia is nearly always the result of a congenital bowing of the tibia when it is unilateral and with an antero-external angle. There is no possible spontaneous consolidation and there may be several associated sequellae (shortening and trophic disorders of the limb). The etiological and therapeutic aspects of the affection are reviewed.
