		Varus was a man of moderate talents and fond of an idle and quiet life ; he possessed neither the abilities nor the energy necessary for the important task entrusted to him.
		Varus therefore finding every thing so peaceful and the people so submissive did not consider it necessary to keep all his soldiers together in the summer camp.
		Varus had entered the pass, not suspecting any danger, his army in a long straggling line, encumbered with baggage, and accompanied by the wives and children, whom the soldiers had brought with them from their summer quarters, when the Germans suddenly appeared and attacked the Romans on all sides.

	Clades Variana (The Varus Disaster)
		Some sources say that Varus was marching to put down a rebellion in the north, others say he was relocating to a winter camp when the ambush took place.
		Varus may have been counting on Augustus to give the husband of a favored grand-niece an easy and profitable assignment.
		Quintilius Varus was born of a noble rather than illustrious family, was of a mild disposition, of sedate manners, and being somewhat indolent as well, in body as in mind, was more accustomed to ease in a camp than to action in the field.

	Publius Quinctilius Varus
		It is possible that one of the consuls of 8 CE, Sextus Nonius Quinctilianus, was Varus' and Vipsania's child, adopted by Varus' brother-in-law Lucius Nonius Asprenas (the husband of Varus' sister Quinctilia).
		Gaius Sentius Saturninus was replaced by Varus, and the legions of the Rhine army were with him in Germania: sometimes in their winter quarters on the Rhine (Xanten and Cologne), sometimes on the eastern bank, for example at Haltern, where the presence of the Nineteenth legion is attested.
		Varus' dead body was identified by the Germans, who cut off the Roman's head and sent it to Maroboduus, hoping that he would join the general insurrection.

	Publius Quinctilius Varus
		He was appointed to govern Germany in 7 AD, but in 9 AD, when marching back from a summer camp near the Weser River[?], he and three legions attacked by Arminius in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest.
		The Romans were entirely slaughtered; Varus was said to have taken his own life, although this is impossible to verify, since there were no survivors.
		After his death, Varus was made the scapegoat for Augustus' difficulties in Germany.

	Varus torque
		Varus torque is a primary factor in the risk of elbow injury during pitching and it was hypothesized that varus torque may be affected by shoulder abduction angle and lateral trunk tilt angle.
		The minimum in peak elbow varus torque was found to be at 0º of lateral trunk tilt.
		The combination of 10º of lateral trunk tilt and 100º of shoulder abduction produced the minimum peak varus torque among all conditions in the study.

		Valgus, varus and axial rotation torques were applied to the test apparatus and corresponding angular deformities were measured.
		Varus is an unstable knee in which the tibial plateau leans laterally ("bow-legs") and is the result of disruption of the lateral structures (mid-third capsular ligament, fibulo-collateral ligament, biceps tendon, and ilio-tibial tract, with or without abnormality of the medial meniscus).
		Valgus and varus force was applied with the tensiometer at a point corresponding to the apex of the lateral malleolus (Figure 5).

	Research and Publications
		The etiology of the hallux varus was determined with particular attention to past surgical procedures, trauma, and the presence of degenerative or inflammatory arthritis.
		The etiology of hallux varus in the remaining nine feet was trauma in three, rheumatoid arthritis in three, idiopathy in two, and osteoarthritis in one.
		If the varus was caused by a tight capsulorrhaphy only, correction was obtained with the medial capsulotomy and abductor lengthening alone in mild deformities, and with an additional tendon transfer in moderate to severe deformities.

	Chapter 11: The Two Governorships of Quintilius Varus
		However, Quintilius Varus was consul in 13 B.C.E., and was an ex-consular official (and able to be proconsul of Asia) for 15 years or so after 12 B.C.E. This fact indicates that Quintilius Varus could be considered as one of the men described on the stone of Tibur.
		Though Varus’ family was wellborn and of patrician rank, it was not elevated in prestige until Quintilius Varus was made consul in 13 B.C.E. From then on, their fortunes began to change.
		And since Varus must have had extensive land holdings around his villa, it could be said, with a great deal of confidence, that the inscription was found either on or certainly adjacent to the very estate of Varus.

	The Varus Debate
		The location of the Varus battle site to Kalkriese near Osnabrück is mainly based on that assumption, as coins with "VAR" were found in the excavations.
		Varus clearly controlled more than just the legions he lost, with others stationed on the Rhine under his legate Lucius Asprenas.
		The widespread distribution is not unreasonable for a Legatus with at least 5 legions under his command and whose countermarked coins would have continued to circulate after his death.

		Sepphoris, the capital, was burned, and all its inhabitants were sold as slaves, after which Varus marched on Emmaus in the west, and burned it likewise, the inhabitants saving themselves by flight.
		Traversing the entire district of Samaria, which he left undisturbed, he reached Jerusalem, where the Roman legion was besieged in the royal palace by the rebels.
		The news of his approach, however, so dispirited the latter that he was able to enter the city without resistance, whereupon the great majority of the people were pardoned, although the country was scoured by soldiers and about 2,000 of the insurgents were crucified.

		Keith Gurnick, D.P.M. Rearfoot varus is a biomechanical abnormality defined as an inverted position of the calcaneous as measured in relation to the ground with the patient standing in the neutral calcaneal stance position.
		Patients with rearfoot varus exhibit rapid and early stance phase subtalar joint pronation causing an unlocked midtarsal joint during the stance phase, yielding a loose and flexible foot structure.
		Rearfoot varus cannot be diagnosed by examining a neutral position plaster impression; the negative cast captures only forefoot to rearfoot relationships.

	Publius Quinctilius Varus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His parental grandparents were senator Sextus Quinctilius Varus and Varus was a patrician, born to an aristocratic but long-impoverished and unimportant family in the Quinctilius gens.
		In 9CE, Varus had stationed his armies near the Weser River with his three legions, the Seventeenth, the Eighteenth and the Nineteenth, when news arrived of a growing revolt in the Rhine area to the west.
		Not only was Varus trust in Arminius a terrible misjudgement, but Varus compounded it by placing his legions in a position where their fighting strengths would be minimized and that of the Germans' maximized.

	Battle of Varus
		The idea that the place of the Battle of Varus was found now just by chance was the conclusion of these excavations in combination with the field research in the surrounding.
		Of course, they were not comparable with Roman roads so that the legions of Varus would have had difficulties to pass this area even without being attacked.
		No traces of a mound were found yet; maybe there was one somewhere in the large area as a symbol for the whole burial action of the Roman legions.

	Leaders and Battles: Teutoburger Wald, Teutoburg Forest
		According to Cassius Dio, the reason for this battle was that after Varus became the governor of Germania province (7 A.D.), he made the mistake of giving orders and asking for tribute from some Germanic tribes as if they had been subdued.
		In this situation, the Germans did not respond immediately and Varus was at first received peacefully by them, a thing which inspired trust in him; it seemed that these tribes would accept the Roman domination without a war.
		Varus' head was sent to Augustus and now the independence of these territories was assured.

		Varus befriended the Cheruscan chiefs, Segestes, and his brother Segimerus, little realising that Arminius and Segimerus were even then plotting against him.
		Some of the chiefs, in particular Segestes, tried to warn the governor of this impending treachery, but Varus was persuaded to lend the conspirators legionary detachments, which they said they needed to guard certain posts and escort supplies for the Roman army.
		As Varus took his leave, the Cherusci asked to rejoin their tribes - ostensibly to recruit men to help put down the revolt that they had invented.

	Varus Composes The Tumults In Judea And Crucifies About Two Thousand Of The Seditious
		Then did Varus forgive the multitude their offenses, but sent their captains to Caesar to be examined by him.
		Now Caesar forgave the rest, but gave orders that certain of the king's relations (for some of those that were among them were Herod's kinsmen) should be put to death, because they had engaged in a war against a king of their own family.
		When therefore Varus had settled matters at Jerusalem after this manner, and had left the former legion there as a garrison, he returned to Antioch.

		Metatarsus adductus (MTA) or varus is a condition that is commonly seen in newborns and young infants, where the forefoot is twisted inwards relative to the hindfoot (or heel).
		If the forefoot adductus or varus is associated with hindfoot valgus, it is called a skewfoot.
		If the forefoot adductus is associated with hindfoot varus and ankle equinus where the foot points downwards, the problem is a clubfoot.

	Die Varusschlacht
		As usual in late summer, Varus was returning to the winter quarters on the river Lippe or the river Rhine with his entire army and cortege.
		Seuton, who passed on Augustus' dictum: "Varus, Varus, give me back my legions" was born about 70 A.D., and Greek historian Cassius Dio Cocceianus was born about 155 A.D. All authors write from the perspective of the Romans.
		With this judgement, the author probably captures the spirit of the time, one hundred years after the defeat: Varus had since been renounced; his incompetence was seen as the cause of the disaster in the Teutoburg Forest.

	GLOBAL METATARSUS VARUS Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery - Find Articles
		Purpose: Global metatarsus varus is a deformity of the forefoot characterised by medial deviation of all the metatarsals.
		The condition is often associated with hallux valgus and pes cavus (metatarsus varus sometimes being considered a clinical form of cavus), as well as metatarsal verticalisation predominating on the first ray.
		Discussion and conclusion: Metatarsus varus is a challenging deformity which responds very poorly to classical treatments of the forefoot.

	The Effect of Bracing in Varus Gonarthrosis By A. Kirkley, MD; S. Webster-Bogaert, MSc; R. Litchfield, MD; A. Amendola, ...
		Osteoarthritis is the most common affliction of synovial joints, with the structural changes of osteoarthritis being present in approximately half of adults.1-4 The knee is the most commonly affected weight-bearing joint,4,5 and varus deformity is the most predominant malalignment of the knee associated with osteoarthritis.
		In patients with varus gonarthrosis, treatments that have been evaluated include wedge insoles18,19 and braces.20 Two main types of braces are available: sleeves and unloading knee braces that attempt to decrease loads through the tibiofemoral compartment.
		The objective of this study was, therefore, to compare the effectiveness of an unloader brace, a neoprene sleeve, and control treatment in improving the disease-specific quality of life and function of patients with varus gonarthrosis.
