  ABSTRACT: We report a case of acquired genu recurvatum treated with a proximal tibial flexion osteotomy. A partial growth arrest at the anterior portion of the proximal tibial physis following a conservatively treated Meyers-McKeever type II injury of the tibial eminence. This is a reliable method in the correction of genu recurvatum. By using tricortical autogenous iliac crest graft, the osteotomy may be made very stable intra-operatively circumventing the need for fixation.
