double malleoli sign of rickets


As we all know there is osteoid hyperplasia at metaphysis due to decreased mineralisation of bone resulting from calcium and vitamin D deficiency.
This gives rise to two swellings along the medial malleolus, the lower one is medial malleolus and upper one is the metaphysial widening.
This is called double malleoli sign of rickets.
