Coxa Valga

	Coxa Valga Coxa valga is a deformity of the hip where the angle formed between the head and neck of the femur and its shaft is increased, usually above 135 degrees. The deformity may develop in children with neuromuscular disorders (i.e. cerebral palsy, spinal dysraphism, poliomyelitis), skeletal dysplasias, and juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Coxa valga deformity is a common pathologic condition in children with cerebral palsy, and they may be predisposed to hip subluxation or dislocations.

	Coxa Vara Coxa vara is a deformity of the hip, whereby the angle between the head and the shaft of the femur is reduced to less than 120 degrees. This results in the leg being shortened and the development of a limp. It may be congenital and is commonly caused by injury, such as a fracture. It can also occur when the bone tissue in the neck of the femur is softer than normal, causing it to bend under the weight of the body. This may either be congenital or the result of a bone disorder. The most common cause of coxa vara is either congenital or developmental. Other common causes include metabolic bone diseases (e.g. Paget's disease of bone), post-Perthes deformity, osteomyelitis, and post traumatic (due to improper healing of a fracture between the greater and lesser trochanter). Shepherd's Crook deformity is a severe form of coxa vara where the proximal femur is severely deformed with a reduction in the neck shaft angle beyond 90 degrees. It is most commonly a sequela of osteogenes ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
picture info	Genu Valgum Genu valgum, commonly called "knock-knee", is a condition in which the knees angle in and touch each other when the human leg, legs are straightened. Individuals with severe valgus deformity, valgus deformities are typically unable to touch their feet together while simultaneously straightening the legs. The term originates , but is also used to describe the Anatomical terms of location#Proximal and distal, distal portion of the knee joint which bends outwards and thus the Anatomical terms of location#Proximal and distal, proximal portion seems to be bent inwards. Mild genu valgum is diagnosed when a person standing upright with the feet touching also shows the knees touching. It can be seen in children from ages 2 to 5, and is often corrected naturally as children grow. The condition may continue or worsen with age, particularly when it is the result of a disease, such as rickets. Idiopathic genu valgum is a form that is either congenital or has no known cause.

picture info	Genu Varum Genu varum (also called bow-leggedness, bandiness, bandy-leg, and tibia vara) is a varus deformity marked by (outward) bowing at the knee, which means that the lower leg is angled inward ( medially) in relation to the thigh's axis, giving the limb overall the appearance of an archer's bow. Usually medial angulation of both lower limb bones ( fibula and tibia) is involved. Causes If a child is sickly, either with rickets or any other ailment that prevents ossification of the bones or is improperly fed, the bowed condition may persist. Thus the chief cause of this deformity is rickets. Skeletal problems, infection, and tumors can also affect the growth of the leg, sometimes giving rise to a one-sided bow-leggedness. The remaining causes are occupational, especially among jockeys, and from physical trauma, the condition being very likely to supervene after accidents involving the condyles of the femur. Childhood Children until the age of 3 to 4 have a degree of genu varum ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Arthropathies An arthropathy is a disease of a joint. Types Arthritis is a form of arthropathy that involves inflammation of one or more joints, while the term arthropathy may be used regardless of whether there is inflammation or not. Joint diseases can be classified as follows: * Arthritis :* Infectious arthritis ::Septic arthritis (infectious) :: Tuberculosis arthritis ::* Reactive arthritis (indirectly) :Noninfectious arthritis :: Seronegative spondyloarthropathy: :::Psoriatic arthritis :::Ankylosing spondylitis ::Rheumatoid arthritis: ::: Felty's syndrome ::Juvenile idiopathic arthritis :: Adult-onset Still's disease ::Crystal arthropathy :::Gout :::Chondrocalcinosis ::Osteoarthritis * Hemarthrosis (joint bleeding) * Synovitis is the medical term for inflammation of the synovial membrane. * Joint dislocation With ''arthropathy'' in the name * '' Reactive arthropathy'' (M02-M03) is caused by an infection, but not a direct infection of the synovial space.
