Background: Genu varum is the condition of the legs that bend inward, leading to walking disruptions. However, data on genu varum are still lacking to prevent the disease. This study aimed to identify the epidemiology of patients with genu varum in preventing, managing and determining the prognosis and as a source for future research.Methods: This research is a descriptive study using a retrospective research design. The sampling technique used is a total sampling of genu varum patients gained from the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology database, medical records from Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital Surabaya, and patients' home visits. The target population is all genu varum patients from 2010-2018.Results: The total sample was 31 patients, 21 patients were male (67%), and 10 patients were female (32%). The average age of patients was 4.3 years. The first complaint of the disease was, on average, realized at 1.8 years. The birth weight data obtained an average of 3.49 kg. The average body mass index is 26.3. Langenskiold stage I,II,III,IV,V,VI type; 2 (3%), 43 (70%), 2 (3%), 5 (8%), 2 (3%), 8 (13%). Eighteen patients (58%) had bilateral Blount disease and 7 patients (22%) had unilateral Blount disease, and only six patients (20%) had physiologic genu varum. Eighteen patients were carried out conservative methods, and 13 underwent operative methods.Conclusion: Blount disease is the commonest cause of genu varum in Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, specifically infantile. The highest number of patients are male and those who underwent operative treatment.

Background of the study: Tibia Vara is defined as a growth abnormality which leads to Varus malalignment of the lower limb. It is caused by excessive loading on the medial part of proximal tibia. Progressive Tibia Vara can result in a bowleg deformity which is most noticeable in posteromedial part of upper tibial physis. Other than that, it gives rise to in toeing of feet and lateral knee thrust, altering the normal biomechanics of an individual. This study aim to determine the frequency of Tibia Vara among obese adolescents (13-18years). Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was done using non probability convenient sampling. Total 214 obese adolescents of age range 13 to 18 years were recruited from different parks and schools of Lahore. Adolescents with BMI less than 30 and with history of fracture or dislocation in the lower limb were excluded from the study. Manual goniometer was used to assess tibia vara in obese adolescent which had an intra-rater reliability of 0.75. Results: Out of 214 obese adolescents, 128 were male and 86 were female. The percentage of Tibia Vara in this population was found to be 38% (n= 82). Whereas; on the basis of gender, male participants presenting with Tibia vara was found to be 26% (n= 56) and the percentage of females reported with Tibia vara was only 12% (n= 26). Conclusion: Tibia vara had been reported in 38% of the obese adolescents in Lahore, Pakistan. Whereas, on the basis of gender most frequently tibia vara was reported among male participants. Keywords: Adolescents, juvenile, biomechanics, blount disease, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, slipped capital femoral epiphysis.
