Genu Valgum in Pediatric Patients Presenting With Patellofemoral Instability. [PDF]
J Pediatr Orthop, 2023 Background: Lower extremity valgus is a commonly described factor associated with patellofemoral instability (PFI) and, if identified before skeletal maturity, can be treated with guided growth.

Temporary hemi-epiphysiodesis with tension band plates in skeletally immature patients with genu valgum: Faster correction in patients with more than 2 years of expected time of growth remaining. [PDF]
J Child OrthopPurpose: Hemi-epiphysiodesis procedures in skeletally immature patients are commonly done to correct genu valgum over time. This study seeks to demonstrate the average rate of deformity correction for genu valgum using hinged tension band plates, while ...

Effect of 8 weeks of training with an elastic band on frequency spectrum of lower limb muscles in genu valgum patients during running [PDF]
مجله پزشکی دانشگاه علوم پزشکی تبریز, 2023 Background. Due to the special structure of the knee joint in genu valgus individuals, neuromuscular characteristics of muscles can be disturbed and this may change postural control.

Natural behaviours after guided growth for idiopathic genu valgum correction: comparison between percutaneous transphyseal screw and tension-band plate. [PDF]
BMC Musculoskelet Disord, 2022 Background Percutaneous epiphysiodesis using a transphyseal screw (PETS) or tension-band plating (TBP) has shown favourable correction results; however, the physeal behaviours in terms of rebound, stable correction, or overcorrection after guided growth ...

Comparison of Eight-plate with Reconstruction-plate in Temporary Hemiepiphysiodesis to Correct the Idiopathic Genu Valgum in Pediatrics. [PDF]
Arch Bone Jt Surg, 2022 Background High cost of eight-plate makes it unavailable in many countries; therefore, developing an alternative device for temporary hemiepiphysiodesis of knee deformities in pediatrics is valuable.

Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction With Growth Modulation in Children With Patellar Instability and Genu Valgum [PDF]
Arthroscopy Techniques, 2020 Patellar instability is common in the second decade, and genu valgum is a risk factor for patellar instability. In skeletally immature patients, genu valgum can be gradually corrected using less-invasive, well-established, growth-modulation techniques ...
