Brief Summary:
Genu-varum is a common problem encountered in pediatric orthopedic. Correction of pathological deformity is mandatory to ensure normal load transfer through the knee. In this study, the investigators describe a new technique of osteotomy osteoclasis in order to evaluate if it is an effective and reliable method in management of infantile genu varum
Detailed Description:
Seventy children with 122 legs suffering significant infantile genu-varum were treated by percutaneous osteotomy-osteoclasis technique. The mean age was 46 months. Genu varum was bilateral in 52 children and unilateral in 18 with a mean preoperative proximal medial tibial angle 66.67 ± 2.670. Under general anesthesia, transverse osteotomy osteoclasis was performed below the tibial tuberosity. Follow-up radiograph was done within the first post-operative week and then every two weeks to assess alignment and consolidation.
