About Genu Recurvatum

Genu recurvatum, also known as knee hyperextension, is a condition where the knee joint extends beyond its normal straight alignment, causing the leg to bend backward. In pediatric orthopedics, this procedure involves a comprehensive evaluation and tailored treatment plan to correct the abnormal knee alignment in children. The approach may include non-surgical interventions like physical therapy, bracing, and activity modification to strengthen muscles and improve joint stability. In more severe cases, surgical correction such as guided growth techniques (hemiepiphysiodesis) or osteotomies may be recommended to realign the knee gradually and restore normal function. Early intervention is crucial to prevent long-term complications like arthritis, joint pain, and gait abnormalities, ensuring optimal growth and mobility for the child.

PATIENT REVIEW

Olivia Roy is a bright and...

Olivia Roy is a bright and artistic 8-year-old who loves ballet. She has always been a bit 'loose-jointed,' but over the past two years, her parents noticed her knees were bending backward noticeably when she stood. Recently, her left knee started aching after dance class, and she began tripping more often. Her pediatrician referred her to a pediatric orthopedic specialist. After a thorough exam and X-rays confirming Genu Recurvatum, the doctor recommended a guided growth procedure (hemiepiphysiodesis) with a small plate and screws on the front of her knee to gently correct the angle as she grows. Olivia was nervous about surgery and scared it would end her dancing. The procedure itself was outpatient. Recovery involved a few weeks on crutches and physical therapy to strengthen her muscles. A year later, her knee alignment is much improved, the pain is gone, and she's back in ballet, now with more stability and confidence. Emotionally, she moved from fear and frustration about her clumsy knees to relief and pride in her resilience, feeling stronger both physically and mentally.
