Bow Leg Treatment

What is Bow Leg Deformity?

Bow legs, also known as genu varum, is a condition in which the legs curve outward at the knees while the ankles remain close together — creating a noticeable gap between the knees when standing.
Although commonly seen in children and often self-correcting, in adults it can result in:

🔸 Aesthetic concerns
🔸 Joint pain and early arthritis
🔸 Gait disturbances and imbalance
🔸 Reduced self-confidence

What Causes Bow Legs?

Bow legs can be caused by:

Genetic predisposition

Rickets (vitamin D deficiency during bone development)

Blount’s disease

Improper healing of past leg fractures

Uneven growth during adolescence

Obesity or repetitive stress over time

In adults, untreated bow legs often lead to knee joint degeneration and posture problems over time.

Treatment Options for Bow Legs

Treatment varies depending on age, severity, cause, and patient goals. At Medicape, we offer advanced correction techniques, including:

🔹 High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO)

The most common surgical treatment for adult bow legs. A small wedge of bone is removed or inserted from the upper tibia to realign the leg axis and reduce pressure on the inner knee joint.

✅ Minimally invasive techniques available
✅ Preserves the natural knee joint
✅ Common in younger, active adults with early arthritis

🔹 Gradual Correction with External Fixators

For more complex or severe deformities. A circular external frame (Ilizarov or Taylor Spatial Frame) is applied to gradually adjust alignment over weeks.

✅ Highly precise, adjustable correction
✅ Used for multi-plane deformities or leg length differences
✅ Requires compliance and longer recovery time

🔹 Acute Correction with Internal Fixation (Plates/Screws)

Bone is surgically cut and immediately realigned with internal hardware, such as plates and screws.

✅ Faster recovery compared to external frames
✅ Preferred in moderate, single-plane bowing

Who is a Candidate for Bow Leg Surgery?

✔ Adults with persistent bowing that affects function or appearance
✔ Patients experiencing knee pain, joint wear, or balance issues
✔ Individuals seeking improved aesthetics and posture
✔ Those in good overall health and with realistic expectations

Recovery After Bow Leg Surgery

🕒 Hospital stay: 2–3 days depending on technique
🩺 First 2 weeks: Limited weight-bearing with crutches or walker
🕒 Weeks 3–6: Gradual increase in mobility and physical therapy
🕒 3–6 months: Full return to walking, sports, and lifestyle

Patients are guided closely through physical therapy and follow-up imaging to ensure proper healing and alignment.
