Blount disease is a pathology of development, characterized by involvement of the proximal medial tibial physis. The child presents clinicaly with varus and internal rotation of the lower limb. Two distinct clinical forms have been recognized: infantile and adolescent. A third form, which was called juvenile Blount disease is recognized by Thompson. It is usually noted shortly after the child have begun walking and frequently confused with physiologic genu varum. The difference is genu varum does not need treatment and Blount disease does. Type 1 or 2 of Langenskiöld are the best to conservative treatment with KAFO brace. A boy with infantile Blount disease is reported, he was underwent nonsurgical management with brace to correct the deformities.
