    Genu Valgum and Genu Varum

    Uploaded by

    SisyBania
    This document discusses genu varum (bow legs) and genu valgum (knock knees) in children and their causes. Genu varum can be caused by laxity of the lateral collateral ligament, Blount's disease where the tibia does not develop normally, congenital pseudoarthrosis of tibia, or coxa valga. Genu valgum can be caused by laxity of the medial collateral ligament or coxa vara. Blount's disease causes the lower leg to angle inward like a bowleg due to abnormal development of the tibia. Coxa vara is femoral neck shaft angulation less than 120 degrees while coxa valga is greater than 135 degrees.

    Kondisi Penyebab
    1. Genu varum - Laxity of lateral collateral ligament
    - Blount’s disease (pertumbuhan yg tidak
    normal pada tulang tibia)
    - Congenital pseudo arthrosis tibia
    - Coxa valga

    2. Genu valgum - Laxity of medial collateral ligament


    - Coxa vara
     6 to 12 months : Genu varum (bow legs) and medial tibial
    torsion are normal in newborn and infants
     18 to 24 months : the lower limbs gradually straighten with a
    zero tibiofemoral angle (when the infant begins to stand and
    walk).
     3–4 years : knees gradually drift into valgus (knock-knee). an
    average lateral tibiofemoral angle of 12 degrees
     7 years Finally the genu valgum spontaneously correct
    alignment
     Bowlegs after 2 years of age are considered abnormal
    Tibio femoral angle
     Lateral ligament laxity
     Blount’s disease
     Congenital pseudoarthrosis of tibia
     Coxa valga
     Lateral ligament laxity
     Blount’s disease

    Blount's disease is a growth disorder of


    the tibia (shin bone) that causes the lower leg to
    angle inward, resembling a bowleg.

    Causes
    The inner part of the tibia, just below the knee, fails to
    develop normally, causing angulations of the bone
    Blount’s disease
     Congenital pseudoarthrosis of tibia
    Pseudoarthrosis : “ununion”
    coxa vara < 120-135 < coxa valga
    120-135 <120 > 135
    <120 120-135
    > 135
     coxa vara --- > genu valgum
     coxa valga --- > genu varum
    Physiological valgus of the knee

    • Femur-tibia 170 – 175o


    • Femur – Mechanical axis  6o
    • Mechanical axis – vertikal  3o
    • Femur – axis transversal  81o
    • Axis transversal – tibia  93o
    170-175 > 175 < 170
     Coxa valga

    angulation at the neck shaft


    level
     Coxa vara

    coxa vara < 120-135 < coxa valga
