Knock Knees-Common Chilhood Orthopedic Condition !!!

As a child matures and begins to walk, knock-knees can develop as he or she tries to maintain balance on weakened legs. When a knock-kneed child stands up, his or her knees touch each other, but the ankles do not. The medical name for knock knee is genu valgum.

 

For adults, being slightly knock-kneed is a normal variation in alignment; many adults are somewhat knock-kneed. This is rarely a problem, and surgery is seldom undertaken to correct it. knock-knees were more likely to be injured in the intense activities of basic training.

Symptoms of Knock-Knees

• Knees that touch when you are standing (but  ankles don’t touch)
• Excessive outward or inward knee angle that may cause pain
• Walking difficulty

 

What Causes Knock-Knees?

 
Knock-knees are common, often developing as part of the childhood growth process.
Certain diseases (like rickets) can cause permanent knock-knees, and an injury to or infection of the shin bone can also cause a knock-knee, if it's bad enough to impair bone growth. And children who are overweight are more prone to knock-knees, because their bones and joints have trouble supporting their weight.

 

What If You Do Nothing?
In children the legs usually will straighten out as the child grows. However, if a case of knock-knees is severe or if it is still present at the age of five, medical attention is needed to prevent permanent problems.

Diagnosis & Treatment

 

The main way doctors diagnosis bow legs or knock knees is through physical exam. In addition, X-rays may be taken when needed to get more information about the knee joint.

Surgery is the only way to change the knee angle — for braces, shoe inserts and physical therapy are ineffective. Since normal leg development goes from bowlegs to knock-knees, surgery should be postponed until the child is at least 10 years old.

Two bones meet at the knee joint: the femur (thighbone) and the tibia (shinbone). Surgical treatment depends upon the maturity of the child. In younger children, whose growth plates are open and still growing, knee alignment can be changed by tethering the growth plates of the femur or tibia using staples. As the growth plate grows on the untethered side, the knee will grow out of its excessive angle.

In older children, who no longer have open growth plates, treatment consists of cutting, straightening and then holding the bones of the knee in place while they heal with metal implants, including pins, plates and screws.

Although both treatments have high success rates, they should be done only if clearly necessary and at the appropriate age.

Advanced Bow Legs Correction and Procedures!!

When Should a Parent Be Concerned!!!!

 For many new parents, the arrival of a baby is one of the most exciting experiences in life. Watching a new baby grow and develop, especially over the first two years of life, can be a time of joy, excitement but also frustration. 
Of note is the concern many parents express during paediatric visits regarding the seemingly lower extremity growth deformity attributing to the appearance of bowed legs in the child. For many children, this bow leg appearance is simply a part of child growth and development.

Bow Legs

Bow legs is a condition in which the knees stay wide apart when a person stands with the feet and ankles together. It is considered normal in children under 18 months. Babies and young children often have knees and legs that look awkward. 
If a child has bow legs, the legs bow outwards when she or he stands. When your child stands with his or her feet together, the knees will be far apart. Bow legs are very easy to see at 12 to 18 months when your child starts to stand and walk. Standing and walking helps the legs to straighten.

Causes

Infants are born bow legged because of their folded position in the mother's womb. Bowed legs begin to straighten once the child starts to walk and the legs begin to bear weight (about 12 to 18 months old).

 
Severely bowed legs can be caused by rickets. Its a conditions. Rickets is typically caused by not getting enough or being able to properly use vitamin D.

Bow legs may be caused by illnesses such as:

    Abnormal bone development

    Blount's disease

    Fractures that do not  heal correctly

    Rickets, which is caused by a lack of vitamin D

Symptoms

 

• Knees do not touch when standing with feet together (ankles touching)
• Bowing of legs is same on both side of the body (symmetrical)
•  Bowed legs continue beyond age 3

Exams and Tests

A doctor can often diagnose bow legs by simply looking at the child. The distance between the knees is measured while the child is lying on the back.

Blood tests may be needed to rule out rickets.

X-rays may be needed if:

    The child is 3 years old or older

    The bowing is getting worse

    Bowing is not the same on both sides

    Other test results suggest disease

Medical Treatments

If the bowing is severe or worsening, braces and surgery are the first options to be considered. Correction should be undertaken as early as possible, first with braces, and if this treatment shows no positive results, with surgery to correct the faulty knee structure. Otherwise the condition may eventually result in disabling problems of the knee joints. 
Nutritional rickets is treated with large doses of vitamin D. The treatment of rickets that is caused by a genetic metabolic defect will vary depending on the nature of the disorder.

Bow legs that does not go away and is not treated may lead to arthritis in the knees or hips over time.
