Blount disease is an acquired growth disorder of the medial aspect of the proximal tibial physis, epiphysis and metaphysis. Infantile Blount disease present with bowing and length discrepancy in the lower limbs. The deformed medial tibial metaphysis represent as nontender bony protuberance can be palpated along the medial aspect of the proximal tibia.
