Knee Deformities | Knee Deformities in Adults

Learn about various types of knee deformities and their causes, symptoms, and treatment options by watching the informative Orthopedic Surgery lecture available on sqadia.com. ▬ 📌 Joint Deformity Joint deformity refers to any abnormality or deviation in the structure, shape, or alignment of a joint. Joint deformities can result from various causes, including congenital abnormalities, injury, or other medical conditions. The most common types of joint deformities include: Angular deformities These occur when there is an abnormal deviation or angulation of a bone at a joint. Examples include bowlegs, knock knees, and scoliosis. Dislocations A joint dislocation happens when the bones that form a joint are forced out of position. This can happen due to injury or trauma. Subluxations Subluxation is a partial dislocation of a joint, where the bones are only partially displaced. Contractures Contractures are a permanent shortening of the muscles, tendons, or ligaments around a joint, leading to a limited range of motion. Bony overgrowth This occurs when there is an abnormal growth of bone tissue at a joint, leading to restricted movement. The causes of joint deformities can vary widely depending on the type of deformity. Some common causes include congenital abnormalities, trauma, or injury to the joint, arthritis, infections, or tumors. Treatment for joint deformities can involve a range of options, from physical therapy to surgery, depending on the severity and underlying cause of the deformity. ▬ 📌 Physiological Bowlegs and Knock Knee Physiological bowlegs and knock knees are common variations in the alignment of the legs that occur in children. Physiological bowlegs, also known as "genu varum," are characterized by an outward curvature of the legs, causing the knees to be further apart than the feet when standing with the ankles together. Physiological knock knees are characterized by an inward curvature of the legs, causing the knees to touch when standing with the ankles together. These conditions are considered to be a normal variation in the alignment of the legs and usually resolve on their own as the child grows. However, if the bowing or knock-kneed appearance is severe, it can lead to problems with walking or standing and may require medical intervention. Treatment options for physiological bowlegs or knock knees may include braces, shoe inserts, or surgery, depending on the severity of the condition. ▬ 📌 Compensatory Deformities Compensatory deformities occur when the body tries to compensate for a primary deformity in another part of the body. For example, if a person has an abnormal curvature of the spine, the body may compensate by shifting the pelvis or tilting the head to maintain balance. This can lead to secondary deformities, such as pelvic tilt, leg length discrepancy, or scoliosis. Compensatory deformities can cause a range of symptoms, including pain, limited range of motion, and difficulty with daily activities. Treatment for compensatory deformities involves addressing the primary deformity and providing supportive measures, such as physical therapy or bracing, to correct any secondary deformities. ▬ 📌 Pathological Bowlegs and Knock Knees Pathological bowlegs and knock-knees are deformities that occur due to an underlying medical condition. Pathological bowlegs, also known as "Blount's disease," are characterized by a severe outward curvature of the legs, which can lead to difficulty with walking and standing. This condition is often seen in young children and can be caused by a disturbance in the growth plate of the tibia bone. It can also be associated with obesity, early walking, or a family history of the disease. Pathological knock knees, also known as "rachitic rosary," occur due to a vitamin D deficiency, which causes the bones to become weak and bow outwards. This condition is common in children, especially in developing countries, and can be caused by inadequate exposure to sunlight, poor nutrition, or malabsorption disorders. Symptoms of pathological bowlegs and knock knees can include pain, swelling, stiffness, and difficulty with movement. Treatment options for these conditions may include surgery, braces, or physical therapy, depending on the severity and underlying cause of the deformity. ▬ 📌 Blount's Disease Blount's disease, also known as tibia vara, is a pathological condition that affects the growth plate of the tibia bone, leading to a severe outward curvature of the legs. This condition is often seen in young children and can be caused by a variety of factors, including obesity, early walking, or a family history of the disease. Symptoms of Blount's disease can include pain, swelling, stiffness, and difficulty with walking and standing. ▬ 🎬 5500+ sqadia.com Medical Videos ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 👩🏻‍⚕️ Accessible Medical Student Education 24/7/365 💡 Simplifying Medical Learning 💪 Study Hard, Dream Big, Achieve More
