What type of brace is used for bow leg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Medial Unloader: A Valgus producing medial joint unloading brace is often tried to decrease compression load across the medial ( inside) aspect of a varus ( bowlegged) knee. These braces work best to dynamically unload medial aspect of knee while ambulating or walking.
