What is Genu Varum and Valgum: Definitions & Causes about?
Genu Varum and Genu Valgum are conditions where the alignment of the legs and knees are abnormal. Genu Varum causes the knees to touch medially, while Genu Valgum causes the knees to be separated laterally in an "X-shape." These conditions can be caused by issues with bone growth, trauma, metabolic disorders, or improper sleeping/sitting positions in infancy and childhood. Treatment involves bracing or orthotics to gradually correct the alignment as the child grows.
