Knock knees or genu valgus necessitates in some children corrective surgery with partial closure of the growth plate at level of the knee.
Background: Genu valgus is a condition with malalignment of the lower extremity. Surgery may be indicated in severe cases and reversible hemiepiphysiodesis is often the treatment of choice in growing children. Partial closure can be obtained by stapling technique or with a new treatment called tension band plating.
