Knee deformities in childhood represent a significant orthopedic problem that may affect not only lower limb biomechanics but also overall posture and spinal alignment. Altered load distribution and compensatory mechanisms often lead to the development of postural disorders, including lordosis, kyphosis, and scoliosis. This article analyzes the combined occurrence of postural disorders in children with knee deformities and highlights the biomechanical and clinical relationships between lower limb alignment and spinal posture. Understanding these associations is essential for early diagnosis, comprehensive orthopedic assessment, and effective rehabilitation strategies aimed at preventing progressive musculoskeletal dysfunction.
