Methods for correcting o-shaped legs

O-shaped legs are deformities in which the inner knees cannot be aligned with each other and the two knees cannot be brought together when standing naturally.

The pathological causes are mainly some defects or hereditary factors. The more direct reasons are mainly in walking and sitting postures.

The correction methods for bow legs include: surgery, bow-correcting instruments, splints, leggings, exercise, corrective insoles, etc.

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, osteotomy and correction with the assistance of an external fixator can be used to slowly correct the deformity, avoid neurological and vascular complications, and the surgery is also minimally invasive.

The principles of non-surgical correction methods are basically the same, which is to relax the medial collateral ligament of the knee joint and restore the stable structure of the inner and outer sides of the knee joint. 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.
