A member asked:
Why are my legs bow legged?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Different reasons: There are many reasons why one can have genu varum (bow legs). Genetics, obesisty, race, among others, all play a part. There are some cases that are idiopathic - meaning we don't have a good answer as to why it occurs.
