Angular Bone Deformity
What is Angular Bone Deformity?
Angular bone deformities are bent bones, most often occurring just above or just below the knee. The condition causes severe knock knees (genu valgus) or bow legs (genu varus) that develop and worsen with growth. The deformities make walking difficult and may damage the joints, resulting in arthritis.
What Causes Angular Bone Deformity?
- The condition occurs when the bone softens and then deforms with stress of weightbearing.
- Malnutrition and a lack of Calcium and Vitamin D restrict healthy bone development and may cause angular bone deformities.
- Other causes include: growth-plate abnormalities, badly mended fractures, metabolic conditions, and infections.

Simple and effective surgery is used to re-align the bones.
