What does VARUS mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
A deformity in which part of a limb, joint, or bone is turned or angled inward toward the body's midline.
Varus is the opposite of valgus, which describes the same kind of limb turning outward instead of inward, and doctors often use the two terms together when describing knees, ankles, or feet. A common example is genu varum, the medical name for bow-leggedness, where the knees point outward while the lower legs angle inward toward each other. Orthopedic surgeons assess the degree of varus in a joint using X-rays before deciding whether bracing, therapy, or surgery is needed.
