Abstract

Penyakit Blount merupakan penyakit epifisis proksimal tibia patologis yang menyebabkan tibia melengkung pada anak–anak. Keparahan penyakit ini dinilai menggunakan sistem klasifikasi Langenskiöld 6 tahap berdasarkan progresivitas degenerasi kompartemen sendi medial. Pilihan terapinya meliputi non-bedah dan pembedahan, dengan perawatan khusus berdasarkan umur dan stadium menurut Langenskiöld. Kerusakan sendi permanen dan deformitas dapat berkelanjutan jika tidak diobati.   Blount’s disease is pathology of the proximal tibial epiphysis causing outward tibial bowing in children.
