Abstract

Because of the close relationship with the knee joint, proximal deformities of the tibia will be explained in the chapter on knee deformities. Likewise, distal deformities of the tibia will be explained in the chapter of ankle deformities because of their close relationship. Diaphyseal deformities of the tibia (or bowing deformities) will be explained in this chapter.

Tibial bowing is the bowing of the bone diaphysis. There are many etiologies for tibial bowing. For better analysis, first we classify diaphysis deformities according to the planes.
