Summary
This report details congenital angulation and bowing of long bones, a rare bone pathology. It highlights structural adaptations in bone cortex due to fetal positioning.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Pediatric Bone Diseases
- Skeletal Dysplasias
Background:
- Congenital angulation and bowing of long bones represent a spectrum of rare skeletal pathologies.
- These conditions are characterized by abnormal curvature of the diaphysis in long bones.
- The underlying etiology often involves mechanical forces during fetal development.
