Bow legs, or genu varum, is a condition where the legs curve outward at the knees, while the feet and ankles stay together. This leads to an uneven alignment, which can cause pain and limit mobility if left untreated. But don’t worry—we can fix this. Bow leg correction surgery, offered right here at Monadnock Orthopaedic Associates, offers a permanent solution to restore proper leg alignment and improve quality of life.

What Causes Bow Legs?

Bow legs are common in developing infants and toddlers, who usually grow out of the condition by 18 months of age. But in some cases, genetics, nutritional deficiencies, or conditions such as rickets or Blount's disease can cause bow legs to persist or worsen. Early diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment.

Each diagram shows the positions of the center of the hip, knee, and ankle, with circles highlighting the differences in alignment among the three conditions

  • For adults - Osteotomy: This surgical procedure involves cutting and realigning the bones to correct the curvature. It is often recommended for severe cases.
  • For growing children - Guided Growth Surgery: This less invasive procedure uses plates and screws to gradually correct the bone alignment as the child grows.

Benefits of Surgery:

  • Improved Mobility: Surgery can significantly improve walking ability and reduce pain.
  • Enhanced Aesthetics: Correcting the leg alignment can improve the overall appearance of the legs.
  • Long-Term Relief: Surgical correction provides a permanent solution, reducing the risk of future complications.

Recovery and Rehabilitation:

  • Post-Surgery Care: Follow your doctor's instructions for post-operative care to ensure a smooth recovery.
  • Physical Therapy: Engaging in physical therapy can help restore strength and flexibility to the legs.
While this condition can seem scary, take heart: bow leg correction surgery offers a viable solution for those suffering from leg curvature.
