Congenital deformity of knee - what does this mean
Congenital deformity of the knee is a condition in which the knee joint is malformed at birth due to a variety of genetic, environmental, and/or structural factors. this deformity can range from mild to severe and can include issues such as hip dysplasia, patellar dislocation, and tibial torsion. treatment for this condition typically involves physical therapy, bracing, and in some cases, surgery.
What happens during the disease - congenital deformity of knee
Congenital deformity of the knee is caused by abnormal development of the knee joint in the womb due to genetic or environmental factors. this can result in a range of deformities, such as genu varum (bow-leggedness), genu valgum (knock-knees), genu recurvatum (hyperextension of the knee) and tibial torsion (twisting of the lower leg). these deformities can be caused by genetic abnormalities, such as achondroplasia, or due to environmental factors, such as intrauterine positioning. depending on the severity of the deformity, treatment may include physical therapy, bracing, or surgery.
