Staged Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty for Neglected Blount Disease Using a Gap Balancing Technique

Blount disease is an acquired, asymmetrical disorder of proximal tibial growth that results in a complex three-dimensional proximal tibial deformity, with tibial varus being the dominating feature. Although the exact pathophysiology is unknown, Blount disease is separated into 2 clinical variants, i...
