From: Deformity progression in congenital posteromedial bowing of the tibia: a report of 44 cases
illustration showing the radiographs of a 14-years girl affected by CPMBT undergoing bifocal lengthening by circular hexapod external fixation device (TL-HEX Truelok Hexapod System® Orthofix srl - Verona – Italy) to equalize a LLD of 5 cm with a residual antero-posterior bowing of 8°. The deformity correction was achieved at the distal osteotomy with further lengthening at the proximal osteotomy.5a-b: pre-operative long-standing and lateral radiographs. 5c-d: early post-operative radiographs (antero-posterior and lateral view). 5e-f: postoperative long standing and lateral radiographs at the final follow-up one year after the external fixator removal
