A Two Stage Procedure Osteotomy Osteoclasis as a Safe Way of Treating Genu Valgus Deformity. A case report.
Ayele, Asfaw
Abstract
This is a case report of a fifteen years old male patient from north Shoa about one
hundred and twenty km from the capital city of Ethiopia., who was having a knock-knee
deformity since child hood. Even he didn’t remember when he started to notice it. Finally
about six months back one remote relative was visiting him and brought him to our
Hospital where I gave him hope by telling him that is manageable and I did convince him
that he will have a corrected knee within a short period of time and all families were
happy. Finally patient was admitted and investigated then I did a two stage procedure
(osteotomy-osteoclasis) where on immediate post-operative day it was notable the
correction and after a month the cast was removed where the limb was straight.
