How to correct o-shaped legs in teenagers

Teenagers are in a period of bone growth and development. If they fail to maintain a standard sitting or standing posture during this period, many situations will occur. The most common one is bow legs, which will have a great impact on their appearance. Not only that, if the patient is in a more serious condition, it will also cause some bone deformities.

Surgery is indicated for patients with bony deformities. Through surgical osteotomy + internal fixation correction, the normal limb force line and appearance can be restored immediately. For severe genu varum deformity, a new osteotomy + internal fixation correction in the first stage may cause tension and traction on nerves and blood vessels, which may easily lead to related complications. Therefore, an external fixator can be used to assist the lower amputation... The correction methods for O-shaped legs include: surgery, O-shaped instruments, splints, leggings, exercises, corrective insoles, etc.

This will cause the tibia to be valgus and achieve the correction goal. The advantages of non-surgical correction methods are low cost and low risk, but the disadvantages are active treatment, which is slow to take effect and requires long-term persistence. Without perseverance, the purpose of correction cannot be achieved.
