title: Roentgen rounds #81. Posteromedial bowing of the tibia.
abstract: Posteromedial bowing of the tibia is a rare deformity which is being recognized more frequently. It is frequently associated with and may be the result of a calcaneovalgus foot deformity. It has a better overall prognosis than the other two categories of congenital angular deformity of the tibia. It does not, however, have a prognosis of normality. The frequent sequelae of LLD and foot hypoplasia should be taken into account when counseling parents of children with PMBT. The need for clinical follow-up with interval scanograms should be emphasized.
