Blount's disease. Blount's disease is a growth disorder of the tibia (shin bone) that causes the lower leg to angle inward, resembling a bowleg. It is also known as tibia vara. It is named after Walter Putnam Blount (1900â1992), an American pediatric orthopedic surgeon.
Signs and Symptoms. The most obvious symptom of Blount disease is a bowing of the leg below the knee. In young kids, it's usually not painful, though it can affect the way they walk. For preteens and teens, Blount disease may cause knee pain that gets worse with activity.
