Abstract
Introduction: Rickets as a cause of bone pain and lower limb deformity was largely thought to be eradicated from the UK and is now commonly thought to be a disease of the past; however, in the last few years there has been a resurgence of cases. Case Report: We present a case of lower limb deformity caused by childhood rickets presenting with apparently healthy diet. This child had been referred to a specialist orthopaedic cling with leg deformity, and was found to have typical clinical and radiographic features consistent with nutritional vitamin D deficiency. Conclusion: Rickets should no longer be thought of as a disease of the past but should be considered as a cause of waddling gait. It should not be excluded as a cause of bone pain and lower limb deformity even in children taking healthy diets.
