title: Congenital posteromedial bowing of the tibia.
abstract: Posteromedial bowing of the leg is a rare entity and only a few cases have been described in the literature. A report is made of six patients with this deformity. Except for one severe case requiring anterior soft tissue release, the deformity was corrected in all patients by repeated application of plaster casts. A conservative approach to the management of this condition is advocated.
