Blount's disease (or Blount disease) is a growth disorder of the tibia (shin bone) which causes the lower leg to angle inward, resembling a bowleg. [2] It is also known as "tibia vara". [ 3 ] [ 2 ]

This specific type of dystonia is frequently found in children, with symptoms starting around the ages of 11 or 12. It commonly begins with contractions in one general area such as an ...

Tibial length: The medial tibial plateau and the tibial plafond; As previously mentioned, leg length difference can result from a repetitive activity that misaligns, one example being pelvic torsion; this is a functional LLD. Abnormal (gravity drive) pronation will drive the innominate bones forward (anteriorly).
