[A roentgenographical study on the aging process of alignment of the lower extremities in children--with special reference to pain in the lower extremity].

Ide H.AbstractTo date, detailed reports are not available in large number concerning the alignment of lower extremities of children. Moreover, those already published are primarily concerned only with normal children, failing to make a sound comparison of lower extremity alignment between normal children and children with complaints about lower extremity alignment. Following is the summary of extensive research the author has done by comparing statistical data obtained--such as measurements of condylar distance, malleolar distance, and alignments of lower extremities--from 269 cases of normal children (538 lower extremities), from 2 years to 15 years, and 173 cases of children with pain (215 lower extremities), from 3 years to 15 years. Most of the children aged five years and older, whose main complaint is pain in their lower extremities, were found to show significant variations in the alignment of their lower extremities and were compared to normal children. When the intercondylar distance is greater than 10 mm, it is imperative to carefully investigate the alignment of the patient's lower extremities, because the pain is almost always found due to the malalignment. Bow legs and knock knees are not only deformity but also frequently accompanied by pain. Therefore, Lanz's method is most useful to evaluate bow legs and knock knees.

The correction of genu valgum by epiphysial stapling.

Pistevos G, Duckworth T.AbstractForty-nine patients treated by epiphysial stapling for idiopathic genu valgum are reviewed. The children were aged from eleven to fourteen and a half years. The severity of the condition and subsequent correction were assessed by measuring the inter-malleolar distance. Results show that femoral stapling is the treatment of choice for most patients with inter-malleolar separation of up to 12-5 centimetres. The optimum age for stapling for both boys and girls is eleven and a half years. Stapling of both epiphyses is advised for those patients presenting late, for example, between thirteen and fourteen and a half years, or where the deformity is greater than 12-5 centimetres of separation. Correction rarely takes more than one year, and was cosmetically satisfactory in all cases. The operation is virtually free from complication except for a tendency for the scars to be broad and conspicuous. Stapling has proved to be a safe, effective and predicatable operation for idiopathic genu valgum.
