Abstract:
Progressive tibia valga occurred in an adolescent girl after curettage and allografting of a large unicameral bone cyst of the tibia. The valgus deformity was corrected by a closing-wedge osteotomy, which resulted in a good functional and cosmetic result. The progressive valgus deformity might have been caused by stimulation of overgrowth of the medial tibial metaphysis.
