Abstract
Genu valgum is one of the most common deformity of the knee in which the knee bend toward the midline with increase in the intermalleolar distance. It is often treated surgically with the osteotomy or by growth modulation techniques such as hemiepiphysiodesis using bone staplers. We, hereby, present a case of 16-year-old female with severe genu valgum deformity of bilateral lower limbs secondary to renal osteodystrophy causing pain in her bilateral lower limbs and inability to walk. She was treated by McEwan’s close wedge osteotomy using an innovative trigonometric-based technique for calculation of wedge size which resulted in accurate correction of deformity. Keywords: Genu valgum, Renal osteodystrophy, Medial close wedge osteotomy, Trigonometric method of wedge calculation.
