Patellar instability is common in the second decade, and genu valgum is a risk factor for patellar instability. In skeletally immature patients, genu valgum can be gradually corrected using less-invasive, well-established, growth-modulation techniques. For skeletally immature patients with patellar ins...
An increase in Q angle beyond the normal range is known as genu valgum (knock knees) and considered as extensor mechanism misalignment, and it has been associated with knee joint hypermobility, patellar instability and patellofemoral pain syndrome. the association with increased ...
Comparison of the effect of calcaneal wedge and hemicupola on the Q angle and valgus angle of the foot in young women who also have genu valgum The purpose of the study, involving 10 young women, was to test the effectiveness of calcaneal wedge and hemicupole in correcting valgus foot and...
