Abstract
Bilateral tibial dysplasia is a very rare condition and has only been reported infrequently. We report a rare case of idiopathic bilateral tibial dysplasia in a 15-month-old child with asymmetric presentation. We managed the two sides differently and achieved a satisfactory union. Bilateral tibial dysplasia can be very challenging to manage, and the two sides may not behave similarly. Anterolateral bowing without fracture can have a better prognosis for union.
Keywords: Congenital pseudoarthrosis of the tibia, tibial dysplasia, congenital pseudoarthrosis of tibia.
