Serial radiographic measurements of the tibias of 14 children 12 months to 5 years of age who were being evaluated for bowleg deformities showed both proximal and distal tibial bowing. With time, the distal bowing in both the children with physiologic bowing (metaphyseal/diaphyseal angles of greater than 11 degrees) and those being treated in braces generally decreased. When the ratios of proximal to distal bowing at initial examination were compared with this ratio at the final examination, it was apparent that both the proximal and distal bowing remodeled at approximately the same rate.
对14名年龄在12个月至5岁之间因膝内翻畸形接受评估的儿童的胫骨进行系列X线测量，结果显示胫骨近端和远端均有弯曲。随着时间推移，生理性膝内翻儿童（干骺端/骨干角度大于11度）以及使用支具治疗的儿童的远端弯曲一般都有所减轻。将初次检查时近端与远端弯曲的比例与末次检查时的该比例进行比较后发现，近端和远端弯曲的重塑速率大致相同。
