GENU RECURVATUM CONGENITUM

Michael Laurence 1

1 St Mary's Hospital, London, and The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, London and Sta, Stanmore

1. Thirty-two infants with genu recurvatum congenitum are reported.

2. Fifteen infants responded completely within eight weeks with conservative treatment; the remaining cases were recalcitrant.

3. The etiology, pathology and treatment of the two groups are discussed.

4. The prognosis is adversely affected by delay in treatment by the presence of certain associated deformities and by generalised joint laxity.

5. Indications for operative treatment are suggested.
