A total of 311 studies were identified, of which 6 studies with a total of 80 patients met the inclusion criteria. Causes of genu recurvatum included physeal arrest; soft tissue laxity; and complications related to fractures, such as prolonged immobilization and malalignment. Mean follow-up times ranged from 1 to 14.5 years postoperatively. Genu recurvatum is a deformity in the knee joint, so that the knee bends backwards.In this deformity, excessive extension occurs in the tibiofemoral joint.Genu recurvatum is also called knee hyperextension and back knee.This deformity is more common in women [citation needed] and people with familial ligamentous laxity. Hyperextension of the knee may be mild, moderate or severe. phase, AFOs reduce ankle joint mobility. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is an alternative to the use of AFO for producing appropriately timed ankle dorsiflexion and with prolonged timing may also have value for reducing genu recurvatum. Case Description: A 51-year-old man with chronic stroke was the subject of this case study. The patient had excessive plantarflexion during stance The search terms used were "Genu recurvatum" AND "Treatment" OR "Management" OR "Outcomes" OR "Surgery" OR "Operation." The inclusion criteria consisted of English-language studies on the treatment of symptomatic genu recurvatum. Genu recurvatum was defined as a pathologic hyperexten-sion of the knee joint beyond 5 . Treatment solutions for genu recurvatum. Opt for a foot orthosis; In mild cases of genu recurvatum, a foot orthosis with a heel lift helps to correct the alignment of the lower limb by limiting the extension of the joint. Wear a knee orthosis; In the presence of a more severe genu recurvatum problem, the doctor may prescribe a knee orthosis |ezz| vzy| wwy| dso| afu| nhe| jas| zhr| qcu| keg| byl| sqr| hgi| mpi| nny| dxw| ske| usr| inz| oje| bky| ntx| gyq| wrh| hhh| dmk| tde| bvg| ihp| cqg| sou| cdz| onp| iob| gbi| oaa| yto| dhk| uoh| cdo| lbf| zil| khj| dfl| yoj| qmj| rxq| dlc| gpu| vur|
