“…The combination of three deformities in different planes (varus, procurvatum, and internal tibial torsion) results in a complex three-dimensional deformity [2]. Nonoperative treatment is ineffective for late-onset tibia vara [3]. Treatment options include lateral hemi-epiphysiodesis of the proximal tibia, physeal distraction, and tibial osteotomy using internal or external fixation.…”

“…It had been assumed that proximal tibial varus was the only substantial deformity in tibia vara. In reality, tibia vara is often a complex deformity that includes distal femoral deformity, proximal tibial varus and procurvatum, internal tibial torsion, and distal tibial deformity 23,29,32,36,[45][46][47] . These other deformities cannot be ignored when a global strategy is being planned for correction of severe tibia vara.…”

“…5 Late-onset Blount's was further divided into adolescent type, occurring after 10 years of age, and juvenile type, occurring between the ages of 4 and 10. 6 While the exact etiology of Blount's is unknown, early walking, obesity, and bone mineral content are thought to con Standing full-length anteroposterior (AP) radiograph of both lower extremities is used to diagnose Blount's disease and to determine the primary sources of medial axis deviation. A treatment plan should be devised based on severity and origination of the deformity in each case.…”
