A member asked:
What do you suggest if my son 15 months old is very bowlegged, we are doing the treatment soon.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tibial torsion: the most common reason for "bowlegging" is known as tibial torsion. It is a turn in the larger bone of the lower leg. This is without consequence and as your child matures into his childhood, his legs will straighten and he will learn to compensate. It is wise to check with an orthopedist, to be sure there is no hip involvement.
