Genovarum and Genovalgum
Genovarum and Genovalgum
DEFINITION
After trauma.
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
GENOVARUM GENUVALGUM
in children aged 2 years, this event occurs when the child's sleeping and
is physiological. but if it occurs in sitting position is wrong. such as how
children older than 2 years, the tibia to sit with the knees facing forward,
bone shifts laterally. The medial the femur inward and the hind legs
femoral condyle and the medial facing outward, resulting in femoral
platella of the tibia will be torsis, the collateral ligament collapse
pathologically burdened - the of the knee joint. giving rise to an
heuter volkman effect will inhibit excessive burden on the femur and
the ossification of the epiphyses --- lateral tibia --- the heuter volkman
the ligaments become weak and the effect --- inhibits bone expansion ---
joints unstable inhibits growth
CLINICAL MANIFESTATION
GENOVALGUM
GENUVALGUM 1. Both knees away from the medial direction
2. Flexion, abduction, and external rotation of
1. Both knees get closer the hip, and internal tibial torsion (proximal)
2. Loose in the knee ligaments 3. Mild foot supination
3. Changes in gait 4. Curvilinear appearance is a torsional
combination of external rotation of the hip
4. Pain due to strains on the
(tight posterior capsule)
patellofemoral extensor 5. Physiological arising at or below the knee
5. Bad looking and symmetrical
6. Display of the knee valgus 6. Display of knee varus <11 (knee angulation
15(angulation of the knee bent toward positioned away from the linea mediana of
the medial line) the body)
7. The body looks sho 7. Occurs since the baby starts to be able to
stand and walk alone
8. When both children's ankles are held in
contact with the medial maleos, there is a
gap between the medial femoral condyle and
the distal femur
Physical Examination
• Pay attention to the knee when walking whether there is lateral thrust
or medial thrust.
Laboratory Examination
• Brace treatment
in children aged 2.5-5 years
who have a high risk for
experiencing blount disease.
