Preoperative clinical photograph and plain radiography.

(A) Significant anterolateral bowing of the left tibia and limb shortening. The weight and contour of the tumor subjected the left hip to be externally rotated while in neutral supine position. Left lower leg marked for surgery. (B) Anteroposterior (left) and lateral (right) X-rays showing typical presentations of osteofibrous dysplasia. The lesion was limited to the tibia that extends from the diaphysis to distal metaphysis. Accompanying fibular bowing was evident. No observable periosteal reaction, knee or ankle joint abnormalities.
