Abstract :

The presence of any skeletal deformity can be a pathognomonic feature of a syndrome. Tibial bowing is defined as bowing of tibial diaphysis, some degree of angulation is physiologic in neonates, and more severe forms are frequently associated with various syndromes. The congenital anterolateral tibial bowing and polydactyly is a rare condition. Posteromedial and anteromedial bowing may resolve in time spontaneously. Anterolateral bowing should be followed up due to the possibility of development of pseudarthrosis of the tibia and risk of fracture. Congenital anterolateral bowing of the tibia in association with a bifid ipsilateral great toe is a much more rare entity.
