  2. Varus deformity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varus_deformity

    It is correct for a knock-kneed deformity to be called both a varus deformity at the hip (coxa vara) and a valgus deformity at the knee (genu valgum); although the common terminology is to simply refer to it as a valgus knee. When the terminology refers to a bone rather than a joint, the distal segment of the bone is being described.

  3. Genu varum - Wikipedia

    Hip-knee-ankle angle. On projectional radiography, the degree of varus or valgus deformity can be quantified by the hip-knee-ankle angle, [7] which is an angle between the femoral mechanical axis and the center of the ankle joint. [8] It is normally between 1.0° and 1.5° of varus in adults. [9] Normal ranges are different in children. [10]

    English: Postoperative X-ray of normal knee prosthesis of a 73 year old man who had osteoarthritis. Anteroposterior view. It shows the following measurements used for post-operative evaluation: FFC: frontal femoral component angle. It is typically regarded as optimal when being 2–7° in valgus.

  6. Knee examination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knee_examination

    To test for the lateral meniscus, the varus force, internal rotation are applied to the leg while extending the knee. Any clicking, popping, or catching at the respective joint line indicates the corresponding meniscal tear. [1] In Apley compression test, the person lie down in prone position with the knee flexed at 90 degrees. One hand is used ...

  7. Osteotomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteotomy

    X-ray of Femoral Osteotomy hardware to correct femoral rotation caused by hip dysplasia. X-ray of the right hip in female patient in early thirties. Two main types of osteotomies are used in the correction of hip dysplasias and deformities to improve alignment/interaction of acetabulum – (socket) – and femoral head – (ball), innominate osteotomies and femoral osteotomies.

  8. Valgus deformity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valgus_deformity

    A valgus deformity is a condition in which the bone segment distal to a joint is angled outward, that is, angled laterally, away from the body's midline. [1] The opposite deformation, where the twist or angulation is directed medially, toward the center of the body, is called varus.

  9. Knee - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knee

    The knee is a modified hinge joint, a type of synovial joint, which is composed of three functional compartments: the patellofemoral articulation, consisting of the patella, or "kneecap", and the patellar groove on the front of the femur through which it slides; and the medial and lateral tibiofemoral articulations linking the femur, or thigh bone, with the tibia, the main bone of the lower ...
