A member asked:
Hi i m 24 and my legs are bow how to straight it without surgery?

Surgery: As an adult, surgery really is the only way to change or correct bowing of the legs. The good news is that in many cases the bowing does not have to be corrected and requires no specific treatment. You may want to speak to an Orthopaedic Surgeon about your condition.
