Non Standard Deviation – Managing angular deformities around the knee in young age

Abstract

Angular deformities around the knee in children are common presentations in day to day practice. While some of the deformities are physiological that need careful observation, the others are pathological and need timely medical or surgical intervention. Systematic evaluation of the deformity is the first step in making the correct decision about the management. The right choice of treatment, the correct timing and perfect execution of the technique are necessary for optimum outcome. This article describes the aetiology, clinicoradiological evaluation and management of angular deformities around the knee in children. Keywords: Knee, Angular deformity, Children.
