Three additional cases of focal fibrocartilaginous dysplasia causing tibia vara.
Three additional cases of unilateral tibia vara caused by focal fibrocartilaginous dysplasia are reported in children aged 5, 6, and 18 months. These three cases support the conclusion of our original case report that unilateral tibia vara is most likely a progressive deformity, but that documentation of the progression should be obtained before a valgus osteotomy is performed.
