Can bowlegs be still cured at the age of 16?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The varus deformity associated with bow-legged can be corrected surgically. This is done when the deformity is large enough to affect joint function. See a board certified orthopaedic surgeon with reconstruction experience.
