Weismann-Netter-Stuhl syndrome: report of two cases and treatment

BMJ Case Rep. 2014 Feb 4:2014:bcr2013201772. doi: 10.1136/bcr-2013-201772.

Abstract

Weismann-Netter-Stuhl syndrome is a rarely reported cause of bowed legs; hence a thorough clinical and radiological examination is needed for its diagnosis. In view of the paucity of reports guiding the treatment of the deformity, we propose a one-level/two-level osteotomy with intramedullary nail fixation as a treatment modality for the tibial bowing.
