The correction of genu valgum by epiphysial stapling.
Forty-nine patients treated by epiphysial stapling for idiopathic genu valgum are reviewed. The children were aged from eleven to fourteen and a half years. The severity of the condition and subsequent correction were assessed by measuring the inter-malleolar distance. Results show that femoral stapling is the treatment of choice for most patients with inter-malleolar separation of up to 12-5 c...
متن کاملMedial physeal stapling for primary and secondary genu valgum in late childhood and adolescence.
We report the results of medial physeal stapling in 16 knees with primary genu valgum and 27 with secondary genu valgum.

متن کاملSuccessful Two-step Correction for Severe Genu Valgum in Ellis-van Creveld Syndrome: A Case Report
Introduction Ellis-van Creveld syndrome (EVC) is a very rare genetic disorder involving a severe, relentlessly progressive genu valgum deformity of the knee and it is usually difficult to correct all of the deformities by elevation of the depressed lateral tibial plateau alone. We are reporting one such case treated using two-step operative technique (first, gradual correction using Taylor spat...
