Genu varum (“bowlegs”) and genu valgum (“knock-knees”)

Home Genu varum (“bowlegs”) and genu valgum (“knock-knees”)
Bow legs are common in the new born and up to two years of age. Note the gradual transition from bowlegs to knock knees as the child matures. Inter-condylar distance and Inter-malleolar distance are commonly used to monitor progress of bowlegs and knock knees. However, these rough measurements have now been replaced by scanograms for planning treatment.
