Genu Valgum in Children with Coxa Vara Resulting from Hip DiseaseShim, Jong Sup M.D.*; Kim, Hui Taek M.D.†; Mubarak, Scott J. M.D.‡; Wenger, Dennis R. M.D.‡

AbstractSummary: Three patients with chronic hip disease and progressive coxa vara deformity also had an unrecognized compensatory ipsilateral genu valgum until the primary hip deformity had been corrected operatively. This unrecognized genu valgum may become subtly worse in a growing child because of lateralization of the mechanical axis of the lower extremity with respect to the knee joint. Operative correction of coxa vara acutely moves the mechanical axis farther laterally, causing the occult genu valgum to become clinically apparent. The genu valgum may subtly worsen over time in a growing child because of lateralization of the lower extremity mechanical axis with respect to the knee joint, with the resulting abnormal Hueter-Volkmann forces across the physis causing progressive genu valgum. Recognition of occult genu valgum before correcting coxa vara in children allows the surgeon the better to advise the family about the need for possible subsequent operations on the knee.

B) Excess Antiversion

D) Ankle pain

Patients with preoperative varus malalignment frequently had an abnormal Ankle joint orientation (excessive lateral tilt) relative to the ground in the coronal plane.

ankle joint line

Paper conclusions;

The proximal tibial osteotomy would change the relative ankle joint line orientation more than the knee joint line orientation due to longer lever arm.

After HTO the relative ankle joint orientation became more parallel to the ground even

though the ankle joint orientation after HTO was slightly overcorrected compared to the normal controls probably due to intentional

overcorrection strategy in HTO.

E) Distal tibial torsions

A few researches has shown that tibial malrotation affects the distribution of loads whithin the knee.( Yazdi ,et al

ESSKA 2014)

Malrotation of the distal tibial fragmnet negates the intended effect of offloading the diseased compartment .

Furthermore leads to abnormal ankle contact pressures.

No study in the literature.

Does constitusional tibial torsion compromise the offloading effect of HTO?

May be
