Valgus and Varus Deformities
Valgus and varus deformities refer to abnormalities in the alignment of bones in the lower limbs, leading to an improper angle at the joints.
Valgus Deformity (Knock-Knees)
________________________________
Description: In valgus deformity, the knees angle inward and touch each other when the legs are straightened. The lower legs are bent outward.
Causes: Common causes include genetic factors, arthritis, rickets, and injuries.
Symptoms: Visible inward angling of the knees, knee pain, difficulty walking, and increased wear on the outer side of the knee joint.
Diagnosis: Clinical examination, X-rays, and gait analysis.
Treatment: Physical therapy, orthotics, weight management, and in severe cases, surgical correction such as osteotomy or knee replacement.
Varus Deformity (Bow-Legs)
____________________________
Description: In varus deformity, the knees remain apart when standing with the feet together, causing the legs to bow outward.
Causes: Common causes include genetic factors, Blount's disease, rickets, and trauma.
Symptoms: Visible outward bowing of the legs, knee pain, difficulty walking, and increased wear on the inner side of the knee joint.
Diagnosis: Clinical examination, X-rays, and gait analysis.
Treatment: Physical therapy, orthotics, weight management, and in severe cases, surgical correction such as osteotomy or knee replacement.
Understanding these deformities is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment to prevent complications and improve joint function and overall mobility.
