	Genu Varum -- eCureMe.com
		The typical infant has 15 degrees of genu varum (bowleg).
		The distance between the knees with the child supine (lying down) is a clinical measurement of the genu varum.
		An X-ray of the knees should be done if the genu varum is severe, to exclude similar conditions.

	Genu Recurvatum: Identification of Three Distinct Mechanical Profiles - Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics, 1998 \| ...
		Genu recurvatum usually is an acquired deformity secondary to changes of the distal skeletal joint alignments and compensatory movement patterns.
		Numerous causes of genu recurvatum are cited in the literature and include plantarflexion contracture, spasticity of the triceps surae, quadriceps weakness, limb-length discrepancy, and hip extensor weakness (2-5).
		An IRD recurvatum is determined by an increase in the talocalcaneal angle, measurable genu recurvatum, and genu varum alignments.

		The natural history of the tibial femoral angle is one of considerable bowing (genu varum) at birth, approximately 15 degrees.
		Clinical assessment is often made with the legs together by measuring the distance between the knees for bowing (genu varum) and the ankles for knock knee (genu valgum) deformity.
		Internal tibial torsion and external rotation contracture of the hips often accompany genu varum and tend to accentuate the deformity.

		Genu varum (or bow legs) is relatively common in children, and may be due to physiological bowing which corrects with growth, or rarely due to pathological genu varum which requires treatment to avoid functional and cosmetic problems.
		Physiological genu varum is normal in infants and maximal at 6 months of age, then progressing to excessive genu valgum followed by gradual correction to the normal adult valgus alignment by 5-6 years of age.
		Excessive physiological bowing is associated with early walking, and is characterised by smooth bowing of the whole limb, often with internal tibial torsion.

		Excessive pronation of the foot could be an aetiological factor in the development of genu valgum, but there is no evidence to support or contradict this hypothesis.
		When the feet are wider apart (as in genu valgum), there is a supinatory force being applied at the STJ due to frictional forces from the ground and the angle that the valgus angle that the leg has with the ground.
