“…The correction occurs through the site of deformity and leads to physeal arrest after consolidation and thus prevents recurrence. It requires a stable external fixator, and the surgeon must be aware of the epiphyseal pins' close proximity to the joint and monitor for infection [102]. De Pablos reported complete correction in 12 of 12 patient with no recurrence [103].…”

“…8 The cause of this pathology is still uncertain, but some risk factors are well established. [9][10][11] Obesity exerts a significant mechanical role as it can lead to the development of Blount disease. It is hypothesized that increased load through the joint may cause the structural deformity.…”

“…Different types of proximal tibial or distal femoral osteotomy, hemiepiphysiodesis or asymmetric physeal distraction, have been proposed in the literature [1,6,20]. Tibial oblique osteotomy or hemiepiphysiodesis are the most frequent surgical procedures for correction of tibia vara [1,2].…”
