We report a case of unilateral genu valgum secondary to focal fibrocartilaginous dysplasia (FFCD) isolated in the posterolateral cortex of the distal femur. This case is the first incidence of a discrete fibrous band occurring in conjunction with a FFCD lesion in the distal posterolateral femur treated with excision of the tether and the overlying periosteum with curettage of the cortical focal...

Background. Due to the special structure of knee joint in genu valgus individuals, neuromuscular characteristics muscles can be disturbed and this may change postural control. This study aimed investigate effect 8 weeks training with an elastic band on frequency spectrum lower limb valgum patients during running. Methods. was a clinical trial which 24 male students (20-30 years old) were random...

angular deformities of the lower limbs are common during childhood. in most cases this represents a variation in the normal growth pattern and is an entirely benign condition. presence of symmetrical deformities and absence of symptoms, joint stiffness, systemic disorders or syndromes indicates a benign condition with excellent long-term outcome. in contrast, deformities which are asymmetrical ...

locomotion fundamental skills play an essential role in improving motor development throughout the life span as they provide children with better development by enhancing search abilities in environment. this study aimed at comparing the locomotion fundamental skills in 7-year-old children with lower extremity deformities and healthy children. the statistical population consisted of 7-year-old ...
