Abstract
PRENATAL bowing and angulation of a single tubular bone or of a pair of tubular bones have been reported in a small number of cases. 1 Congenital anterior curvature of one or both tibias, congenital tibial kyphosis, is the commonest and best known lesion of this type. Chapple and Davidson 2 described the case of a newborn infant who presented congenital symmetric lateral bowing of the femurs with bilateral dislocation of the hips; the remainder of the skeleton apparently was normal in this case, and the of comfort assumed by the infant did not suggest faulty fetal position of the arms. Middleton lb observed associated bendings in the femoral shafts of a newborn infant, who also exhibited bilateral tibial kyphosis and talipes equinus. Concomitant deformities of the bones in the upper extremities, however, were not described in any of the patients who were reported to have congenital curved deformities
