Genu Varum Secondary to Rickets Treated with Femoral and Tibial Osteotomy and Application of a Multi-axial Correcting External Fixation System
摘要
A 13 year old female with genu varum secondary to hypophosphatemic rickets was treated with femoral and tibial osteotomies with application of multiaxial correcting external fixation system (MAC) for gradual correction of the angular deformity. Iliotibial band fasciotomy, a left distal tibiofibular syndesmotic screw, lower leg anterior and lateral compartment releases, and a peroneal nerve release were also performed.
