A member asked:
If a patient is 20yrs old and is an athlete has genu varum can the surgery be done? and can the person resume him high level cycling afterwards

There are surgeries : If the deformity is severe enough, it can cause arthritis down the road. See an orthopaedist for a complete evaluation. A surgeon who does deformity correction is your best bet. Once you are healed, there is no reason why you wouldn't be able to continue riding.
