Brief Summary
Coronal angular deformities of lower limb in children are a common finding in pediatric orthopedic surgery.These angular deformities can be idiopathic in origin, or they can emerge secondary to congenital and acquired abnormalities. Persistent coronal plane deformities around knee (genu varum/valgum) could lead to meniscal tears, collateral ligament laxity, cartilage degeneration, and early osteoarthritis due to gradual mechanical axis disruption
