Congenital anterolateral tibial bowing and polydactyly: a case report

Author: Edmond G. Lemire

Published in: Journal of Medical Case Reports | Issue 1/2007

Abstract

Congenital anterolateral bowing of the tibia is a rare deformity that may lead to pseudarthrosis and risk of fracture. This is commonly associated with neurofibromatosis type 1. In this report, we describe a 15-month old male with congenital anterolateral bowing of the right tibia and associated hallux duplication. This is a distinct entity with a generally favourable prognosis that should not be confused with other conditions such as neurofibromatosis type 1. Previously published cases are reviewed.
