Genu recurvatum is of 3 types
External Rotary Deformity Recurvatum: This is an elevated heel with the forefoot pointing inwards, and the foot remaining in an equinovarus position while walking.
Internal Rotary Deformity Recurvatum: This occurs when the forefoot rotates outwards, compelling the patient to overextend the knee.
Non-rotary Deformity Recurvatum: This is an abnormal positioning of the knee, but the foot and ankle function normally.
