Genu Varum
Genu Varum, commonly known as bow legs, is a condition where a person's legs curve outward at the knees while the feet and ankles remain close together. This can create a noticeable gap between the knees when standing straight. It is often seen in infants and toddlers, as their legs may naturally straighten as they grow.
In some cases, Genu Varum can persist into adulthood or develop due to underlying issues such as rickets, osteogenesis imperfecta, or arthritis. Treatment options may include physical therapy, braces, or surgery, depending on the severity and underlying cause of the condition.
