What about a seven year old with a knee valgus?

The correction method of knee valgus deformity is determined according to age, as follows:

1. Younger age: correction before puberty, if the articular surface is in good condition, it can be corrected by bracing or standing posture. However, if the above ** method does not correct the knee valgus, you need to go to the hospital for a clear examination;

2. Puberty has passed: observe the condition of the knee joint, if the articular surface of the knee joint is in good condition and the joint is not affected, it can be corrected by osteotomy. If the knee joint has been affected, the angle of the knee joint surface has changed, and if the use of osteotomy** may cause the entire joint to re-run in, the patient is more painful, and a total knee replacement is recommended.

The correction of knee valgus needs to be observed in the population, and if it is detected early, it can be corrected conservatively** or with a brace. If puberty has passed, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a clear examination and diagnosis, so as to choose a more accurate surgical method.

There is no need to do correction**, as long as it is to strengthen nutrition and supplement trace elements to accelerate growth, you can improve your baby's symptoms. As long as the baby's symptoms do not improve when he is 12 years old, he will consider correcting **. Type 0 legs, medically known as "knee varus".

When the lower limbs are naturally straightened or standing, the inner ankles of the feet can touch each other and the knees cannot be brought together as the main manifestation of deformity. It is recommended to go to a regular and professional tertiary hospital for a detailed examination, find out, choose the right way for yourself, and treat the symptoms. Don't blindly use medication so as not to miss the best period.

First, the solid of the epiphyseal steel plate. In children and adolescents, knee valgus may be due to an imbalance in the development of bilateral epiphysis. At this time, the normally developed epiphysis can be immobilized to inhibit its growth and balance the development of the epiphysis on both sides.

This corrects valgus of the knee. Second, the method of osteotomy and orthopedics. For adults, an osteotomy can be performed on the femoral and tibial ends of the knee joint, and then immobilized with a steel plate to restore the next alignment.

It is also effective in knee valgus. 3. Knee replacement. Knee replacement is also an important method of knee valgus.

This needs to be corrected with a brace, otherwise the child's whole knee will not be good in the future, or it will cause him to be inconvenient to move, etc., so now it needs to be corrected with a tool immediately.

Many people's physical conditions may be somewhat deformed, not everyone's body is complete, it may also be in the process of development, just after birth there has been an injury will lead to foot valgus, foot valgus usually pay attention to the situation, find the cause, and actively correct, which is very important.

Definition of knee valgus.

Knee valgus, also known as leg bumping syndrome, commonly known as "external figure-eight legs", is a more common deformity of the lower limbs. The deformity is the opposite of knee varus, and when the lower limbs are naturally straightened or standing, when the knees touch, the medial ankles of the feet are separated and cannot be brought together. The knee valgus of the two lower limbs is shaped like an "X", so it is also called an "X" shaped leg.

Single-limb knee valgus is shaped like a "K", also known as a "K" shaped leg.

Knee valgus is when the knee joint is turned outward and the femoral joint is tilted outward. The longitudinal arch of the foot in children is not yet sound, the arch is flat, and there is mild valgus. In children between the ages of 2 and 6 years there is developmental knee valgus, and mild to moderate valgus is a normal physiological phenomenon.

If knee valgus is significant, the child walks clumsily, and the knees rub together when walking (knee valgus is also called knee bumping).

The feet are separated. The child may swing one leg along the other leg to prevent the knee from colliding. Sick children tend to fatigue and their toes are shifted inwards so that the body's weight falls on the soles of the feet**, the second metatarsal.

If the triceps and iliotibial band contractures of the calf are contracted, the toes are shifted outward, and pain often occurs in the back of the calf or in the front of the thigh. Severe knee valgus, quadriceps alignment is disorganized, and the patella slips laterally. Children with valgus are less physically active and tend to be obese.

Abnormal weight-bearing relationships can lengthen the medial collateral ligament of the knee, sometimes leading to degenerative arthritis. The lateral aspect of the knee is stressed, and the femoral joint is tilted outward.

X-shaped leg (knee valgus, figure-of-eight leg).

It is very complicated, mainly due to the following reasons:

1. Knee deformity caused by rickets or osteomalacia (the cause of which is vitamin D deficiency);

2. Anterior poliomyelitis of the spinal cord leads to abnormal development of the femur or tibia;

3. Palate injury leads to abnormal development of the femur or tibia;

4. Osteomyelitis leads to abnormal development of the femur or tibia;

5. Other diseases (such as fractures, trauma, sequelae caused by osteoma, etc.) lead to abnormal development of the femur or tibia. Among the above hair elements, rickets is the most common and important factor. X-shaped leg lesions mostly occur in the tibia, when upright, the lower limbs are arc-shaped convex deformity to the outside, the inner malleolus of the two feet is close together, and the knees cannot be brought together, there is a large spacing, similar to the "X" shape, so it is called X-shaped legs.

The clinical manifestations are mainly knee deformity and walking disorder, and the elderly can be secondary to tension side knee ligament laxity, degenerative arthritis, patellar dislocation and patellar chondromalacia, and cause corresponding symptoms. This disease is more common in children and adolescents, can involve one or both lower limbs, or the lesion is limited to one side of the lower limb, similar to the appearance of "K" shape, so it is also called "K" shaped legs, in fact, it is a special type of X-shaped legs.

There are many causes of knee valgus, such as knee inflammation and bony deformation, and for children, the most common cause is foot valgus, due to the excessive force on the inside of the foot, resulting in excessive lateral moment of the knee joint, and the displacement and deformation of the knee joint to the medial side. If it is caused by foot valgus, then the first thing to do is to control foot valgus and adjust the alignment of the foot, which will help improve knee valgus. The age of 3 years old is still very good, the younger the age, the faster the correction, and the older the age, the more difficult it is to improve.

Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to determine whether the child has knee joint disease or inflammation, if not, mainly look at the child's feet, whether there is foot valgus, if there is, it is necessary to correct it in time and do a regular review.

Hello, it needs to be corrected, if it is not corrected, there will be walking impairment or poor walking posture.

This may be a congenital condition.

Generally, congenital should pay attention to timely surgical orthopedic examination, which is very important, and this can generally be used with some orthotic bands. It also helps to improve.

Therefore, it is better to take a nap at home, and you need to check it regularly.

It can make the calf get regular exercise, and you can also let the baby's legs bend the knees to do the ground, the knees are open, the soles of the feet are bent relative to the arms, and the internal test of the knee joint is supported by both hands, and then the knee joint is pressed hard for 3 seconds and then restored, so that the baby will have a certain effect on long-term persistence, and it is best to go to the local hospital for correction when doing these corrections, so as not to hurt the baby.

Finally, I suggest that you should go to a regular hospital for a check-up and then listen to what the doctor has to say.
