genu recurvatum?

can someone explain to me what this is ,and does it relate to central nervous system
Answer:
Genu recurvatum refers to a knee that is hyperextendable. By itself, it has nothing to do with the central nervous system. However, there are congenital syndromes (for example, Van Haldergem syndrome and spinocerebellar ataxia-dysmorphism syndrome) that are identified by findings such as genu recurvatum and central nervous system defects.
Genu recurvatum is a term used to describe a bowing of the knees or hyperextension of the knee joint with backwardly rounded shin (tibia) bones. It has nothing to do with the CNS. Hope this helps
