Background: Genu varum, or bow-legged deformity, involves an outward curvature of the lower limbs, often creating a visible gap between the knees when the ankles are together. Traditionally treated with invasive surgical methods like high tibial osteotomy, genu varum correction now includes less invasive options for patients with mild to moderate deformities. This commentary explores a novel approach using hyaluronic acid (HA) filler to volumise the medial gastrocnemius muscle, thereby improving calf contour and stability without surgery.

Disparities in health care adversely affect socioeconomically disadvantaged patients. Social determinants of health, including black race, Hispanic ethnicity, public health insurance, and lower socioeconomic status contribute to a delay in access to care for anterior cruciate ligament-injured patients, which may result in increased severity of concomitant knee meniscal and cartilage injuries and inferior outcomes. Surgeons should evaluate their practice settings and patterns and seek to mitigate this risk.
