Abstract
The prevalence of lower extremity deformities is high in
some areas of the world, often associated with low
vitamin D status and low calcium intake. These bone
deformities are physiological until the age of five. There
is no published data on bone deformities in the lower
limbs of healthy children living in North Africa.
