Early experience with medial femoral tension band plating in idiopathic genu valgum
PURPOSE For correction of angular deformity, tension band plating has been proposed as a safe and minimally invasive technique. The purpose of this study was to assess the experiences and report the rate of correction obtained with this procedure in patients with idiopathic genu valgum. METHODS This study was a retrospective review of 47 valgus deformities of the knee treated with medial hemi...
متن کاملMedial Closing-Wedge Distal Femoral Osteotomy with Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Imbrication for Genu Valgum with Lateral Patellar Instability
A varus-producing distal femoral osteotomy (DFO) is an effective technique for the treatment of lateral patellar instability (LPI) in patients with concomitant moderate to severe valgus malalignment. Patellar maltracking and subluxation are corrected via neutralization of some of the laterally directed forces on the patella due to the valgus deformity. This can be accomplished with a distal fem...
متن کاملCorrecting genu varum and genu valgum in children by guided growth: temporary hemiepiphysiodesis using tension band plates.
A total of 25 children (37 legs and 51 segments) with coronal plane deformities around the knee were treated with the extraperiosteal application of a flexible two-hole plate and screws. The mean age was 11.6 years (5.5 to 14.9), the median angle of deformity treated was 8.3 degrees and mean time for correction was 16.1 months (7 to 37.3). There was a mean rate of correction of 0.7 degrees per ...
متن کاملProgressive genu valgum resulting from idiopathic lateral distal femoral physeal growth suppression in adolescents.
BACKGROUND Progressive genu varum with disturbance of medial tibial physeal growth (classic Blount disease) is a well-studied phenomenon, and in rare cases, genu varum can occur because of medial distal femoral physeal growth disturbance (so-called femoral Blount disease). To our knowledge, progressive genu valgum caused by disturbance of lateral distal femoral physeal growth has not been descr...
متن کاملMedial femorotibial osteoarthritis and genu-valgum: Where is the problem?
Frontal malalignment of the lower limbs has been shown to be closely linked to the onset and progression of knee osteoarthritis. Restoration of a satisfactory alignment after total knee arthroplasty has a positive impact on implant durability and functional result. An angle measurement commonly used to assess this alignment is the HKA angle (hipknee-ankle). It is measured on a full length AP ra...
