Anatomical Alignment of Lower Extremity in Subjects With Genu Valgum and Genu Varum Deformities
Purpose: Changes in lower extremity alignment in individuals with abnormality of this segments are unclear. The present study aimed to compare lower extremity alignment in subjects with genu valgum and genu varum deformities and healthy subjects in order to understand the lower extremity alignment changes in this group. Methods: This was a causal-comparative study. The sample comprised 120 m...
متن کاملA simple technique for varus supracondylar osteotomy in genu valgum.
Varus osteotomy of the distal femur is recommended for osteoarthritis of the knee with significant valgus deformity, but the operation is difficult to plan and perform. A simple technique involving a jig referenced to the line of the tibia is described. This allows accurate overcorrection by a few degrees, with impaction and secure fixation at the osteotomy. It has been successful, with no comp...
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 کاملManagement of Genu Varum/Valgum in Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome: A Report of Two Cases
We describe two cases of knee deformity in SDS patients surgically treated. In case n.1, because of a severe deformity, an osteotomy of the distal femur was performed by removing a lateral wedge and stabilizing with a staple, plus lateral tibial hemiepiphysiodesis. In case n. 2 first a medial hemiepiphysiodesis of the proximal tibia with Blount staples was performed. After 18 months the staples...
متن کاملComparison of the kinematic pattern of knee joint flexion in healthy and genu Valgum and genu Varum children during jumping
Introduction & Objectives: genu valgum and genu varum are considered as the most common abnormalities of the knee joint in the lower extremity. Identifying of the mentioned abnormalities in the early stages of life can prevent the occurrence of later problems in the physical condition of a person's life. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to compare the kinematic pattern of knee joint ...
