摘　　要：Coronal plane deformity around the knee,also known as genu varum or genu valgum,is a common finding in clinical practice for pediatricians and orthopedists.These deformities can be physiological or pathological.If untreated,pathological deformities can lead to abnormal joint loading and a consequent risk of premature osteoarthritis.The aim of this review is to provide a framework for the diagnosis and management of genu varum and genu valgum in skeletally immature patients.
