Define Crooked: The typical newborn & early toddler looks bowlegged until about 3, knock need from 4-5 and shifts in development have them straight legged at 6-7. A kid with legs that do not mirror each other is more likely to need corrective work. I haven't had a kid need either braces or surgery in 3 decades of monitoring thousands. Rare exceptions occur & are usually handled by children's hospital specialists.
