Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks for the meaning of the diagnostic term 'Genu Varum' and provides four choices to evaluate.
Option 1: 'knees are bent inward' — This describes a bowing inward alignment, which is more characteristic of genu valgum (knock-knees), not genu varum. Therefore this option is incorrect for genu varum.
Option 2: 'hammer toe' — This term refers to a deformity of the toes themselves (usually the second, third, or fourth toes curling downward), not a knee position. It does not describe genu varum and is clinically unrelated to knee alignment.
Option 3: 'claw foot' — This describes a deformity of the foot where the toes are plantarflexed and clawed, not a knee deformity. Since genu varum concerns knee positioning, this option is incorrect.
Option 4: 'knees are bent outward' — This phrase captures the classic description of genu varum, also known as bow-leggedness, where the knees bow away from the midline when the ankles are together. This aligns with the intended meaning of genu varum and is the accurate choice among the options.
