A member asked:
Could you tell me what bones would be involved with the condition genu varum (bowlegged)?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Genu varum: Bones involved are the femur and tibia ( the big bone in your thigh and the main lower leg bone). In the world, vitamin D deficiency can cause this. Most cases here in USA will self resolve and do not need specific treatment.
