The formation of a genu recurvatum after partial growth arrest of the proximal tibial physis is uncommon. We report the case of a 16 years old male patient with a genu recurvatum of 30 degrees. He sustained a femoral fracture in a traffic accident when he was 9 years old, and we believe that he incurred a physeal injury at the same time. He was managed successfully by an open wedge osteotomy and bone-grafting.
