A member asked:
After how long before bowed legs become permanent?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
BOW LEGS:: Depends on severity. If mild to moderate, from 18 months to 3 years, braces are advised to wear for 22 hours a day. If more severe form, bracing doesn't help, at 4 years, usually surgical correction is done.
