Do your parents also walk with their feet turned inward? If so, it is due to genetics. Parents generally do not need to worry too much about their children's pigeon-toed problems. Most children can improve on their own as they grow up. If your child has been like this for a long time, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up. A correct diagnosis can avoid unnecessary treatment and determine the appropriate time for treatment when necessary. If there are no genetic factors, you can go to an orthopedic doctor to check if you have any bone diseases.

In addition to congenital factors, acquired factors play an important role in this disease and it is preventable. Conservative treatment is generally suitable for children under 3 years old. The younger the age, the better the effect. The earlier the surgical treatment, the better the effect. The salten pelvic osteotomy changes the direction of the acetabulum into the normal physiological direction, relatively increases the depth of the acetabulum, and makes the femoral head and acetabulum reach the center. The age of indication is 1-6 years for hip dislocation, including those whose reduction by manipulation has failed. The acetabular index should be below 45 degrees, and the size of the femoral head should be basically adapted to the acetabulum, so that a good surgical effect can be obtained.

To correct bowlegs, in addition to letting children sit, stand, walk and run in the correct posture, the following methods can be used: 1. Gait training method: let the child correct the step pattern, and have the adult count the commands and let the child walk slowly to the beat. The number of exercises, steps and time per day can be determined step by step according to the degree of the child's gait deformity and the length of time it has been formed, and should be adjusted accordingly.

2. Straight-line step method: Draw two straight lines on the ground with a spacing of about 10-15 cm. Let the child walk back and forth on the straight lines on his toes and heels, with the pace going from slow to fast. This kind of conscious training and persistence will have a very good effect.

3. Straight-line running method: Pull a bright plastic belt on the ground or draw a straight line with colored chalk, let the child stand with his feet parallel on both sides of the straight line, and let the child run along the straight line under the guidance of an adult. Do not let the child run with his feet splayed. In addition, to correct pigeon-toed feet, you can kick shuttlecock with the outside of your foot. When the footsteps are corrected, the child's normal walking will return to its original state. At this time, you should always pay attention and remind your child in time.
