Patient Data
Age: 15
Gender: Female
From the case:
Genu recurvatum
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/17516/annotated_viewer_json?lang=us"}
Anterior tilting of the tibial plateau. Abnormally shallow configuration of the tibial tuberosity. The apophyseal growth plate is completely ossified and shows some sclerosis.
From the case:
Genu recurvatum
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/17518/annotated_viewer_json?lang=us"}
MRI also shows bony bridging of the apohysis at the tibial tuberosity.
Case Discussion
Genu recurvatum probably resulting from premature closure of the apophyseal growth plate.
