An analysis of 148 radiographs of the tibia during skeletal maturation in patients with achondroplasia was performed. The fibula was always longer than the tibia. The distance between the proximal tibial and fibular physis was less than normal throughout growth. The distance between the distal tibial and fibular physis was normal in childhood and became increasingly greater during growth. Tibia varus increased during growth, and there was a particular increase in distal tibia varus toward the end of growth. The altered growth characteristics of the bones suggest a formulation of cause of bowlegs in achondroplasia.
对148例软骨发育不全患者骨骼成熟过程中的胫骨X线片进行了分析。腓骨总是比胫骨长。在整个生长过程中，胫腓近端骨骺之间的距离小于正常。胫腓远端骨骺之间的距离在儿童期正常，在生长过程中逐渐增大。胫骨内翻在生长过程中增加，在生长末期远端胫骨内翻尤其明显。骨骼生长特征的改变提示了软骨发育不全中膝内翻病因的一种表述。
