Blount’s Disease in Children

Beryl - Juliet

Abstract


Blount’s disease is a rare growth disorder that affects children. It causes the legs to bow outwards just below the knees. A small amount of bowing is usually quite normal in young infants. Many babies are born with slightly bowed legs from being in the small space of the womb, but legs usually straighten out as they grow and start walking.
