Children born with prominent bowing of the tibia are an obvious concern to parents and physicians. Managing these congenital angulations requires early and accurate diagnosis. Classification is based on the direction of the angulation and its associated pathology. The three basic classes of tibial angulations commonly accepted are based on the work of Heyman and Herndon. The success of treating these children depends on the type and severity of the angulation. This article presents three cases of tibial bowing and describes the treatment and prognosis of each.
