Congenital posteromedial bowing of the tibia is a rare structural deformity of the lower extremity. This severe deformity may be discovered on ultrasound prenatally but is more commonly evident immediately after birth. Prognostically, congenital posteromedial bowing of the tibia ranges from a self-resolving condition to the development of a significant limb-length discrepancy with functional deficits. This condition can be treated conservatively but may require surgical correction in adolescence or at skeletal maturity. This case study presents a pediatric patient who underwent early conservative treatment with casting and bracing in a podiatric medical clinic setting.
先天性胫骨后内侧弯曲是一种罕见的下肢结构畸形。这种严重的畸形可能在产前超声检查中发现，但更常见于出生后立即显现。从预后上看，先天性胫骨后内侧弯曲的范围从自行缓解的情况到发展为明显的肢体长度差异伴有功能缺陷。这种情况可以保守治疗，但可能需要在青少年或骨骼成熟时进行手术矫正。本病例研究介绍了一名儿科患者，他在足病医学诊所接受了早期的保守治疗，包括石膏固定和支具固定。
