Femoral Deformity in Tibia Vara

Percutaneous hemiepiphysiodesis using transphyseal screws for adolescent tibia vara

“…It can be responsible for a substantial portion of the genu varum [17], and neglecting this deformity can result in an incomplete correction or articular obliquity. Gordon et al [17] studied the mechanical lateral distal femoral angle and preconised femoral correction when it was over 95°. In our series, the preoperative aLDFA was in varus in 13 knees, but in only two it was abnormal by more than 5º.…”

“…Femoral deformity is also associated with ATV, which is more frequent in varus. It can be responsible for a substantial portion of the genu varum [17], and neglecting this deformity can result in an incomplete correction or articular obliquity.

Femoral torsion in patients with Blount’s disease

“…Subsequently, other authors have noted varus deformity of the distal femur, especially in adolescent Blount's disease. [2][3][4] In younger children, a valgus deformity of the distal femur has been noted. 3,5,6 Additional joint deformities have also been noted, with posteromedial depression of the joint line, 7 and MRI studies 8 have shown compensatory thickening of the medial meniscus and articular cartilage in the medial compartment.…”

Prevalence of Tibia Vara in School Going Obese Children in and Around Karad

“…3 Some previous studies suggest that, it is a disorder associated with compensatory varus deformity of the femur. 11 It is characterized by abnormal growth of medial aspect of proximal tibial epiphysis which can be palpated, which causes lower leg to angle inwards and abnormal medial tibial torsion. 3 This deformity consists of Varus, Procurvatum & Internal rotation of tibia.…”
