Blount disease, on the other hand, is usually diagnosed around the age of 2 or 3 years with asymmetric, more severe bowing of the legs that gets worse, not better, over time. WebbIn this study, we aim to evaluate the accuracy of the metaphyseal-diaphyseal angle (MDA) compared with the medial metaphyseal beak (MMB) angle for differentiating between physiological bowing and early Blount disease and to determine which parameter to adequately screen for the subsequent development of Blount disease.

Physiological bowlegs or infantile Blount
WebbBowed legs are most evident when a child stands and walks. The most common symptom of bowed legs is an awkward walking pattern. Toddlers with bowed legs usually have normal coordination and are not delayed in learning how to walk. The amount of bowing can be significant, however, and can be quite alarming to parents and family members. WebbThis angle represents the degree of deformity of the proximal end of the tibia in a patient with clinical bowleg deformity and permits early differentiation between infantile tibia vara and physiological bowleg, before the appearance of the radiographic changes of tibia vara.
