A member asked:
I am 16 years old and i have bow legs . could they be cured at home without surgery ?

Hmm: Minor degree of bowed legs is not a problem but if it is bigger and bothers you then breaking the bones and restraightening can be done. At age 16 you have stopped growing so bracing and remodeling wont work.
