The correct answer is:
She will out grow these deformities completely and an osteotomy will not be needed. In the present child, 10 months later on follow-up she had a noticeable decrease in her tibial bowing along with almost complete resolution of the growth plate abnormalities. At her last follow-up she was 4.3 years old and she had mild anterior lateral bowing of her tibia bilaterally with a normal thigh-foot angle and a mechanical axis that crossed the midline of her knee.
