- degenerative valgus deformity of knee is less common than varus deformity;
- genu valgum is more common in pts w/ history of trauma, RA, renal osteodystrophy, rickets, or infantile poliomyelitis;

Conclusions The Roux-Elmslie-Trillat procedure could be recommended in cases presenting with an increased q-angle, trochlea dysplasia or failed soft tissue surgery. In the present study the majority of patients report a return to previous sporting activity ten years after surgery.

This child's hypoplastic hand had two actively functioning digits and a third, flail ulnar digit. The two working fingers were separated at the level of the metacarpal bases and repositioned to face each other to allow a simple pinch function, using single step rotation angulation osteotomies and an inguinal flap...

Abstract We report the 8-year clinical and radiographic outcome of an adolescent patient with a large osteochondral defect of the lateral femoral condyle, and ipsilateral genu valgum secondary to an epiphyseal injury, managed with autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) and supracondylar re-alignment femoral osteotomy. Long-term clinical success was achieved using this method,...

Rationale:
Most OA is 2° to pre-existing disease
- predisposes to articular cartilage failure
- Failure of cartilage can be halted by decrease in load
- osteotomy corrects the underlying deformity

Conclusions Results show that the methodology is reproducible within a range of 10%. This method has been developed to allow analysis the indirect reflect of deformation variations in CBTPE before and after distal femoral osteotomies. The first results of the valgum and varum deformation show that our methodology allows this kind...
