1. Understand how to characterize coxa vara and coxa valga, along with potential complications and surgical indications. 2. Understand how to characterize genu varum and genu valgum, along with their most common etiologies and complications. 3. Understand the normal angular measurements of the foot, along with the altered anatomy and morphology of talipes equinovarus, as well as the potential long term effects of treatment.

I. Describe the etiology and characterization of coxa vara, along with its associated complications. Discuss indications for surgery as well as the most common valgus-inducing femoral osteotomy procedures. II. Describe the characterization of coxa valga. Discuss potential complications and surgical indications. III. Describe the expected physiologic changes of knee angulation, along with the characterization of genu varum and genu valgum. Briefly discuss the differential considerations for each of the above described deformities, followed by potential complications. IV. Describe the normal angular measurements of the foot, along with the abnormalities associated with talipes equinovarus. Discuss the role of operative and non-operative treatment, as well as the risk of long term arthritic complications.
