    Summary

    This study examines post-traumatic genu valgum in children, highlighting biological factors like growth cartilage damage. Treatment involves osteotomy, with recommendations for improved surgical techniques to prevent relapse.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Pediatric Orthopedics
    • Pediatric Traumatology

    Background:

    • Post-traumatic genu valgum in children is a complex deformity.
    • Understanding its pathogenesis is crucial for effective treatment.

    Observation:

    • The study analyzed 16 cases of post-traumatic genu valgum in children.
    • Mechanical factors and biological factors, including proximal tibial growth plate damage, contribute to the deformity.

    Findings:

    • Osteotomy is the primary treatment, but 7 partial relapses occurred.
    • Relapse is linked to pathological factors, emphasizing the need for precise surgical technique.

    Implications:

    • Corrective tibial osteotomy should be combined with fibular osteotomy to prevent the 'bow string' effect.
    • Overcorrection by 5 degrees and immobilization in a spica cast are recommended for optimal healing and correction maintenance.
