“…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.…”

Objectives: Obesity and overweight are recognized as major global problem to health. Childhood obesity is a known pioneer to adulthood health problems. Prevalence of obesity in childhood has increased more during the last three decades. In India, prevalence of obesity ranges from 4.3 to 40.9%. Obesity and overweight has a greater impact on musculoskeletal system. It mainly affects the structures of hip, knee & ankle. Severe obesity has also been linked with Tibia Vara. Progression of the deformity leads to further growth disturbances. Hence an attempt was made to review the trends of the impact of obesity and overweight on children's musculoskeletal system.Methodology: There were 300 participants in the study. There were 159 female and 141 male participants. This was a study of presence of tibia vara in school going obese children. Here we evaluated the angulation of medial tibial torsion. The results were calculated in a ratio.Results: Prevalence data from the study conducted in schools in and around Karad was included in analysis. As per the study there was there were 12.05% of male population who showed positive results in the test and rest were normal. There were 10.69% of female population who showed positive results in the test and the rest were normal. Conclusion:Our review shows that there is increasing prevalence of obesity in children and there is prevalence of tibia vara in school going obese children, which is 11.33%

“…3 It is now believed that many other deformities accompanied tibial varus in this disease. 4,5 Proximal tibial procurvatum and internal torsion are among the other common deformities found in Blount's disease 4 . Compensatory valgus deformity of the femur, once considered common in Blount's disease, has been proven vice versa.…”

Bilateral neglected Blount’s disease in an adult patient: a rare case report

et al. 2019

<p class="abstract">Blount’s disease is more common in Afro-Caribbean, obese, female child. Early walking have been associated with the disease process. Adult patients with Blount’s disease who received no treatment previously, are rarely reported across the other parts of the world and hence less discussed. The treatment of neglected cases of Blount’s disease often requires correction of varus deformity, internal tibial torsion and medial plateau depression. We are reporting one such patient seen at our hospital. A skeletally mature, obese (BMI 43.2), male patient with bilateral tibia vara was operated for hemi-plateau elevation combined with a valgus osteotomy. Fixation was achieved with plate and staples. Surgical correction of one such patient is technically demanding and more complicated. If left untreated , the main risk is premature osteoarthritis.</p>

“…Различные аномалии строения сустава составляют первопричинную базу для разрушения менисков и развития хондромаляции на мыщелках большеберцовой и бедренной костей [1][2][3]. Среди вариантов нарушения строения сустава особое значение имеют такие как аномальные мениски, гипоплазияаплазия медиальной фасетки надколенника, гипоплазия-аплазия мыщелков блока бедренной кости, отклонение механической оси нижней конечности от центра коленного сустава на 8 и более градусов при вальгусе и 0º при варусе [4][5][6].…”
