MORPHOMETRIC STUDY OF THE PROXIMAL EXTREMITY OF THE TIBIA
Abstract:
The proximal extremity of the tibia can boost the development of genu valgum, more frequently in females. These changes can lead to the occurrence of arthrosis modifications of the knee joints. Early diagnosis and prophylaxis of the mechanical ethiology of such modifications involving the knee can result in a significant decrease of patients’ chance of developing gonarthrosis. The current study aims at identifying the modifications of the proximal extremity of the tibia that actively favour the development of genu varum.
