  • ORIGINAL CLINICAL ARTICLE An operative approach to address severe Genu Valgum deformity in the Ellis-van Creveld syndrome
    2015
    Co-Authors: David Jonah, Melanie A. Morscher, Amy Krahe, Steven Kopits, William C. Schrader
    Abstract:

    Background The Genu Valgum deformity seen in the Ellis-van Creveld syndrome is one of the most severe angular deformities seen in any orthopaedic condition. It is likely a combination of a primary genetic-based dysplasia of the lateral portion of the tibial plateau combined with severe soft-tissue contractures that tether the tibia into valgus deformations. Progressive weight-bearing induces changes, accumulating with growth, acting on the initially distorted and valgus-angulated proximal tibia, worsening the deformity with skeletal maturation. The purpose of this study is to present a relatively large case series of a very rare condition that describes a surgical technique to correct the severe valgus deformity in the Ellis-van Creveld syn-drome by combining extensive soft-tissue release wit

  • early experience with medial femoral tension band plating in idiopathic Genu Valgum
    Journal of Children's Orthopaedics, 2011
    Co-Authors: Humberto Guzman, Burt Yaszay, Vanessa Scott, Tracey P Bastrom, Scott J. Mubarak
    Abstract:

    Purpose For correction of angular deformity, tension band plating has been proposed as a safe and minimally invasive technique. The purpose of this study was to assess the experiences and report the rate of correction obtained with this procedure in patients with idiopathic Genu Valgum.

  • Genu Valgum in children with coxa vara resulting from hip disease.
    Journal of pediatric orthopedics, 1997
    Co-Authors: Jong Sup Shim, Hui Taek Kim, Scott J. Mubarak, Dennis R. Wenger
    Abstract:

    Three patients with chronic hip disease and progressive coxa vera deformity also had an unrecognized compensatory ipsilateral Genu Valgum until the primary hip deformity had been corrected operatively. This unrecognized Genu Valgum may become subtly worse in a growing child because of lateralization of the mechanical axis of the lower extremity with respect to the knee joint. Operative correction of coxa vara acutely moves the mechanical axis farther laterally, causing the occult Genu Valgum to become clinically apparent. The Genu Valgum may subtly worsen over time in a growing child because of lateralization of the lower extremity mechanical axis with respect to the knee joint, with the resulting abnormal Hueter-Volkmann forces across the physis causing progressive Genu Valgum. Recognition of occult Genu Valgum before correcting coxa vara in children allows the surgeon the better to advise the family about the need for possible subsequent operations on the knee.

  • results of percutaneous hemiepiphysiodesis in adolescents with idiopathic Genu Valgum
    Pediatrics, 2019
    Co-Authors: Kevin D Monahan, Wiiliam Hennrikus
    Abstract:

    Purpose: Multiple surgical techniques using bone blocks, screws, plates, and staples have been described to biologically manipulate the growth plate to correct leg length inequality, Genu varum, and Genu Valgum. Genu Valgum is part of a normal physiologic process in children, but when excessive can lead to detrimental alterations in gait and lower extremity alignment in adolescence. This study evaluated the outcomes of percutaneous hemiepiphysiodesis, as described by Bowen in 1984, in adolescents with idiopathic Genu Valgum. Methods: An IRB-approved retrospective review was …
