In the knee, Recurvatum commonly refers to hyperextension, where the knee goes \u201cpast straight.\u201d It is used in orthopedics, sports medicine, and physical therapy to describe alignment and gait patterns. Clinicians discuss Recurvatum when evaluating pain, instability, muscle control, and joint mechanics."}
