Genu Recurvatum versus Fixed Flexion after Total Knee Arthroplasty

BACKGROUND To date, there is no study comparing outcomes between post-total knee replacement genu recurvatum and fixed flexion. This study aims to provide data that will help in deciding which side to err on when neutral extension is not achieved. METHODS A prospective cohort study of primary total knee arthroplasties was performed, which compared the 6-month and 2-year clinical outcomes betw...

Genu recurvatum as a complication after total knee arthroplasty.

A 73-year-old female patient underwent total knee arthroplasty for arthrosis. After surgery, recurvatum instability over 55 degrees occurred. Two years later, primary endoprosthesis was removed and a revision endoprosthesis implanted. However, complete deformity occurred again. Two years later, the thickest revision polyethylene tibial implant was implanted on the same endoprosthesis. In spite ...

Genu Recurvatum after Tibial Tuberosity Fracture

Fractures of the tibial tuberosity are infrequent injuries that occur during adolescence. Displaced tibial tuberosity fractures are typically treated with open reduction and internal fixation. Since these fractures occur at or near skeletal maturity, growth disturbances are not seen. This paper presents a case, the first report to our knowledge, of genu recurvatum deformity after open reduction...

Genu recurvatum congenitum.

This paper reports thirty-two new cases of congenital genu recurvatum or ‘ ‘ back-knee,” and will discuss the etiology and methods of treatment. The incidence of the deformity is uncertain. Steindler (1924) asserted that it was ninety times less common than congenital dislocation of the hip, and Jones and Lovett (1923) described it as “ distinctly rare.” Yet it is said to be sufficiently common...

Brothers with genu recurvatum.

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...
