A<unk>  is an excessive inward angulation (medial angulation, that is, towards the body's midline) of the distal segment of a bone or joint. The opposite of<unk>  is called valgus. EX:<unk>  results in a decreased Q angle of the knee joint. The terms<unk>  and valgus always refer to the direction that the distal segment of the joint points. For example, in a valgus deformity of the knee, the distal part of the leg below the knee is deviated outward, in relation to the femur, resulting in a knock-kneed appearance. Conversely, a<unk>  at the knee results in a bowlegged with the distal part of the leg deviated inward, in relation to the femur. However, in relation to the mid-line of the body, the knee joint is deviated towards the mid-line. EX: Valgus deformity results in an increased Q angle of the knee joint.
