Dec 6, 2024 · Proximal third tibia fractures are relatively common fractures of the proximal tibial shaft that are associated with high rates of soft tissue compromise and malunion (valgus and procurvatum).

Genu procurvatum was measured from full-length lateral radiographs of the tibia and clinical photographs of the affected lower extremity. We then assessed the relationship between radiographically measured procurvatum and clinically measured procurvatum using linear regression analysis.

Jan 17, 2025 · patellar tendon pulls proximal fragment into extension, while hamstring tendons and gastrocnemius pull the distal fragment into flexion (procurvatum)

Background: A procurvatum deformity of the proximal tibia often is seen in patients with Blount's disease. If left untreated, it can lead to progressive angulation in the sagittal plane and altered contact stresses across the knee.

Mar 20, 2017 · Procurvatum or recurvatum deformity occurs in the sagittal plane and is best visualized on a standing lateral radiograph (Fig. 1A–D). Compensation for the deformity is by ankle joint plantar flexion or dorsiflexion.

The nail insertion vector from the starting point in a lateral view is an important risk factor of procurvatum deformity. A steep angle is critical. 1 The infrapatellar transligamentous approach requires knee flexion of more than 100 degrees to reach …

We then assessed the relationship between radiographically measured procurvatum and clinically measured procurvatum using linear regression analysis.

Blount’s disease is an uncommon disorder of the postero-medial proximal tibial physis, which produces a varus proximal tibia, tibial internal torsion, procurvatum and shortening. Blount described infantile and adolescent types.
