A varus deformity in tibia means that the bone has bent inwards (towards opposite leg).
The following xray is of 3 years old male child who presented with progrssively increasing defomity of both legs.
The xray of the child revealed bilateral tibia vara.
Also noted were widening of the metaphysis, cupping and fraying of metaphysis which is more pronounced in ankle than knee.
Rickets were suspected. Serology of the child for calcium metabolism was found normal.
The diagnosis was never confirmed as parents never followed up.
