- Abnormal stress on posteromedial aspect of physis of proximal tibia
- Bowing and shortening of leg, pronated feet, obesity
- Acute angulation and depression at proximal tibial metaphysis, with lateral widening of growth plate
- Differential diagnosis
- Physiologic bowing
- Neonates and infants normally genu varus
- Gradual correction: Fully corrected within 6 months of walking or by 18-24 months of age
- Focal fibrocartilaginous dysplasia
- Physiologic bowing
Blount disease
The medial growth plate is more vertically oriented and irregular than normal, resulting in a beak-like appearance of the proximal tibial metaphysis
