In the more extreme deformities of the rhachitic type theshape as well as the contour of the bones is markedly modified,for example, the internal border of the tibia may become very DEFORMITIES OF BONES OF LOWEB EXTEEMITY. 607 prominent at its upper extremity, and may project beneath theskin like an exostosis (Fig. 403). A change in the contour ofthe fibula accompanies and corresponds to that of the tibia,although it is, as a rule, much less pronounced.
