Anatomy of knee joint
Deformities of knee joint
 Genu varum (bow legs)
 Genu valgum (knock knees)
 Genu recurvatum (hyperextension of knee)
Genu varum
Definition:
 Condition where the knees are abnormally divergent
and ankles abnormally approximated.
Etiopathogenesis:
unequal growth of the medial and lateral side of the
epiphyseal growth plate
Physiological genu varum and genu
valgum
 Genu varum occurs normally in infants.
 Degree of varus decreases till 18 – 24 months when the
lower limb becomes almost straight
 Thenafter, genu valgus starts appearing, intensifies
reaching its peak by about 4 years and then starts
decreasing and by about 7 yrs it gets stabilized with
residual valgus of about 5-7 degrees.
 Genu varum may occur in adults if this physiological
varus fails to correct spontaneously.
 Exact cause of physiological genu varum is unknown
 Other causes
- Rickets
- Blount’s disease
- Injuries to epiphyseal growth cartilage
- Osteoarthritis > rheumatoid arthritis
- Ligament injuries
- Malunited fractures
- Paget’s disease of bone
Clinical features
 Patient usually consults because of cosmetic problem
 Usually bilateral
 If associated with joint instability can lead to
osteoarthritis of medial compartment of knee (pain
and stiffness)
 Severity measurement: intercondylar distance
Investigations
 Deformity is obvious from external appearance
 Radiograph : to differentiate physiological genu varum
from from rickets, trauma, infection or Blount’s
disease.
Treatment
Surgery:
 Stapling of the physes
 Hemi-epiphysodesis
 High tibial osteotomy
 Ilizarov’s technique
 plating
Thank you

  • 5. Genu varum Definition:  Condition where the knees are abnormally divergent and ankles abnormally approximated. Etiopathogenesis: unequal growth of the medial and lateral side of the epiphyseal growth plate
  • 6. Physiological genu varum and genu valgum  Genu varum occurs normally in infants.  Degree of varus decreases till 18 – 24 months when the lower limb becomes almost straight  Thenafter, genu valgus starts appearing, intensifies reaching its peak by about 4 years and then starts decreasing and by about 7 yrs it gets stabilized with residual valgus of about 5-7 degrees.  Genu varum may occur in adults if this physiological varus fails to correct spontaneously.  Exact cause of physiological genu varum is unknown

  • 8.  Other causes - Rickets - Blount’s disease - Injuries to epiphyseal growth cartilage - Osteoarthritis > rheumatoid arthritis - Ligament injuries - Malunited fractures - Paget’s disease of bone
  • 9. Clinical features  Patient usually consults because of cosmetic problem  Usually bilateral  If associated with joint instability can lead to osteoarthritis of medial compartment of knee (pain and stiffness)  Severity measurement: intercondylar distance
  • 10. Investigations  Deformity is obvious from external appearance  Radiograph : to differentiate physiological genu varum from from rickets, trauma, infection or Blount’s disease.
