Discussion This study identified patient clinical information (age and BMI) and reduce extremity radiographic parameter abnormality (MDA and MMB) as independent predictors of Blount’s illness with Langenski d stage II. The created scoring system that subcategorizes patients as low-, moderate-, or high-risk for Blount’s illness will assist clinicians with management decision-making once they encounter a pediatric patient presenting with genu varum. Early diagnosis and management of Blount’s illness is suggested to stop irreversible harm for the proximal medial tibial physis, which results in either intraarticular or extra-articular deformities of your proximal tibia.
