Brothers with genu recurvatum.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Genu recurvatum deformity is rare, usually resulting from injury to the anterior part of the proximal tibial growth plate. However, a small group of cases have no known cause. We describe brothers with the same type of this deformity on the same side. The degree of deformity differed between them, but deformities began at the same age in both (17 years) and progressed over a short period. There was no history of trauma, or other orthopaedic or genetic disorders. These features strongly suggested involvement of heritable risk factors.

Anterior Opening Wedge Osteotomy of the Proximal Tibia for Genu Recurvatum Caused by Partial Proximal Tibial Epiphyseal Arrest
For genu recurvatum deformity after tibial fracture, precise correction osteotomy is necessary to acquire a good clinical outcome. No report on genu recurvatum has evaluated precise preoperative planning with image-processing software for three-dimensional (3D) design and modeling. We herein report a case of osseous genu recurvatum treated by anterior opening wedge osteotomy according to precis...
متن کاملGenu recurvatum following below knee amputation for congenital tibial pseudarthrosis
We report a case of premature arrest of the proximal tibial apophysis leading to genu recurvatum deformity following below knee amputation for congenital tibial pseudarthrosis. In the literature there are reported cases of genu recurvatum following early growth arrest at the proximal tibial apophysis, these typically followed fracture, skeletal traction or surgery and we believe this to be the ...
متن کاملCorrection of genu recurvatum by the Ilizarov method.
The Ilizarov apparatus was used to carry out opening-wedge callotasis of the proximal tibia in ten patients who had suffered premature asymmetrical closure of the proximal tibial physis and subsequent genu recurvatum. In four knees, the genu recurvatum was entirely due to osseous deformity, whereas in six it was associated with capsuloligamentous abnormality. Preoperatively, the angle of recurv...
متن کاملGenu Recurvatum Deformity in a Child due to Salter Harris Type V Fracture of the Proximal Tibial Physis Treated with High Tibial Dome Osteotomy
Salter-Harris type V fracture is a very rare injury in the immature skeleton. In most cases, it remains undiagnosed and untreated. We report a case of genu recurvatum deformity in a 15-year-old boy caused by a Salter-Harris type V fracture of the proximal tibial physis. The initial X-ray did not reveal fracture. One year after injury, genu recurvatum deformity was detected associated with signi...

INTRODUCTION AND METHODS We carried out a systematic review of the literature on treatment of genu recurvatum in hemiparetic adult patients by searching the PubMed, Pedro, Trip Database and Science Direct databases. The following keywords were used: (recurvatum or hyperextension or knee) and (hemiplegia or hemiparesis). RESULTS Nine articles met our selection criteria. Four assessed retrainin...
