Post traumatic genu valgum in a young male

HPI

A 18 year old male patient presents with left knee pain. He suffered trauma to his left knee 1 year ago in an explosion that caused a tibial plateau fracture and extensive burns around the lateral aspect of his left knee and left thigh. He was treated with an Ilizarov external fixator that left this valgus deformity and a loss of knee ROM. Physiotherapy has helped the patient gain knee ROM from 0 degrees extension to 70 degrees flexion.

PMH

No significant PMHx.

PE

Scarring of previous burn over lateral aspect of Left knee. Left knee ROM: 0 degrees extension to 70 degrees flexion. Valgus deformity.
