BACKGROUND
Obesity as a cause of lower extremity deformity in children has been well established. This deformity is most often seen as tibia vara, however, at our institution we have observed more obese children and adolescents over age 7 years with excessive or progressive idiopathic genu valgum.

To evaluate the prevalence of genu valgum and associated factors in elementary school students.
METHODS
Cross-sectional study, carried out in 2015, with 1,050 children and adolescents enrolled in an elementary school in Santos, Southeast Brazil. Misalignment of the knee was assessed by
OBJECTIVE
Femoral medial closing wedge osteotomy for the correction of valgus malalignment to unload the cartilage in the lateral compartment and/or correction of symptomatic torsional malalignment.
METHODS
Lateral unicompartmental osteoarthritis of the knee with genu valgum in young patients.
Femoral varus osteotomy is a conservative treatment for external single-compartment gonarthrosis. This surgical procedure is little used and outcomes are little studied.This study aimed to assess the clinical and radiological results of femoral varising osteotomy in subjects with external
OBJECTIVE
: Evidence suggests a negative effect of obesity on musculoskeletal health in children. A pilot study was undertaken to investigate the presence of musculoskeletal impairments in children with obesity and to explore the relationships among body mass index, physical activity, and
OBJECTIVE
To determine i) whether obesity in childhood can be related to malalignment of the distal extremities, ii) the proportion of genu valgum malalignment and abduction setting, and iii) the respective deviation dominance in children who are morbidly obese.
METHODS
31 morbidly obese Caucasian
Idiopathic genu valgum is a common deformity in children. Guided growth is the treatment of choice in severe or symptomatic cases, although long-term results are mostly unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine the middle- to long-term results and complications of tension band plating in
BACKGROUND
Progressive genu varum with disturbance of medial tibial physeal growth (classic Blount disease) is a well-studied phenomenon, and in rare cases, genu varum can occur because of medial distal femoral physeal growth disturbance (so-called femoral Blount disease). To our knowledge,
Obesity is a rapidly expanding health problem in children and adolescents and is the most prevalent nutritional problem for children in the United States. Some believe that obesity has become a major epidemic in American children, with the prevalence having more than doubled since 1980. This
OBJECTIVE
To determine the prevalence of pain, musculoskeletal syndromes, orthopedic disorders and using computers and playing videogames among obese adolescents.
METHODS
This was a cross-sectional study that investigated 100 consecutive obese adolescents and 100 healthy-weight controls using a
Overweight and obesity in children and adolescents is a growing problem with an increasing number of patients presenting with comorbidities to pediatricians and orthopedic surgeons. This overview summarizes the most common orthopedic problems in overweight children and obesity and highlights the
OBJECTIVE
A cross-sectional study was conducted to explore osteoarticular alterations in obese children.
METHODS
Twenty-five boys and 24 girls (mean age: 10.8+/-2.07 years) with a body mass index (BMI) above the 95th percentile were compared with 28 boys and 19 girls (controls, mean age: 10.4+/-2.3
BACKGROUND
There is a greater prevalence of lower extremity malalignment in obese children during static posture; however, there has been less examination of dynamic joint function in this cohort. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine kinematic differences that exist between obese
OBJECTIVE
To examine the relationship between obesity, genu valgum, and flat feet in children, and find practical implications for therapeutic interventions.
METHODS
A total of 1364 children aged 3-7 years took part in the research. Their body mass index was calculated and their weight status
