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.
