title: [Genu valgum after proximal metaphyseal tibial fracture in children].
abstract: Valgus deformity after fracture of the proximal part of the tibia in children was first reported in 1953 by Cozen. Since that time, numerous reports describing this entity have appeared in the literature. There is no consensus regarding the aetiology or the treatment of this posttraumatic deformity. We would like to recommend an algorithm, how to approach and address this complication.
