Disease Progression Without Fracture in Anterolateral Tibial Curvature: A Case Report and Literature Review.

CASE: A 15-year-old girl presented with isolated anterolateral tibial bowing without fracture, an unusual manifestation. The deformity was initially corrected with a double-level osteotomy sparing the apex and intramedullary nail fixation. A second corrective procedure was performed for residual deformity, resulting in satisfactory alignment and union.

CONCLUSION

Congenital tibial pseudarthrosis most often progresses to fracture in early childhood, but this rare presentation without fracture highlights the variability of the condition. Successful correction was achieved through staged, apex-preserving, double-level osteotomies and intramedullary fixation, providing a potential strategy for atypical cases.
