Abstract

 


Congenital angular deformities of the leg are rare. Congenital anterolateral angulation of the tibia is a complex deformity which needs close observation because, fracture and pseudoarthrosis are always potential risk. Here we report 4 cases in which two had congenital pseudoarthrosis of the tibia and the other two had congenital posteromedial angulation of the tibia which were managed between 1994-1996 and the related literature were reviewed.
