  1. Varus Knee http://www.kneeandjointsurgery.com/

  2. What Is Varus Knee? • Varusknee is a condition that’s commonly referred to as genuvarum. It’s what causes some people to be bowlegged. • It happens when your tibia, the larger bone in your shin, turns inward instead of aligning with your femur, the large bone in your thigh. This causes your knees to turn outward. http://www.kneeandjointsurgery.com/

  3. What are the symptoms? • The most obvious symptom of varus knee is being bowlegged. Adults may feel some pain on the inner aspect of the knee. Young children with varus knee may not have any symptoms. • Over time, untreated varus knee can cause joint pain, especially when walking. It also causes unusual wear and tear on the cartilage in your knee, which can lead to osteoarthritis. http://www.kneeandjointsurgery.com/

  4. What causes it? • Varus knee is common among newborns. Their knee joints are still developing and many of their bones haven’t yet moved into their permanent position. However, some young children develop varus knee as a result of rickets, a disease associated with low levels of vitamin D that causes soft bones. • In adults, osteoarthritis can be both a result and cause of varus knee. If the cartilage on the inside of your knee joint wears down, it can cause your leg to bend outward. In addition, the longer your tibiofemoral alignment is off, the more damage you’re likely to do to your knees. http://www.kneeandjointsurgery.com/

  5. Other possible causes of varus knee include: • bone infections • bone tumors • injuries • Paget’s disease of the bone • brittle bone disease • achondroplasia • Blount’s disease http://www.kneeandjointsurgery.com/

  6. How is it diagnosed? • Your doctor can usually make an initial diagnosis of varus knee by examining your legs and watching you walk. They may also order an X-ray of your affected leg to get a better look at its bone structure. • If your doctor confirms that you have varus knee, they may also use a tool called a goniometer to measure the degree at which your leg turns outward. • If you have a child with bowlegs, your pediatrician may run a test to check their vitamin D levels to rule out rickets. http://www.kneeandjointsurgery.com/
