Ribbing disease is a rare form of sclerosing dysplasia characterized by cortical thickening of the diaphysis of the long bones of the lower extremities. Onset of the disease is typically after puberty.1 Presenting symptoms include pain and/or swelling, and abnormalities seen on imaging, which can be initially unilateral and progress to bilateral over time. This disease can be initially confused with manifestations of chronic repetitive stress fractures. We report a case of a young athletic male who presented with left anterior tibial pain for two years and clinical and radiographic features consistent with Ribbing disease. We also review the current literature and discuss novel approaches to diagnosis and treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
