A member asked:
Can bow legs later on in life cause you to get athrititis, and would playing sports have an impact on that? i'm 20, i play sports, and i have bow legs.

You seem to be : Asking many questions about your bow legs. Hence, i would recommend you consult in person with an orthopedist who specializes in lower extremity. My recommendation would be if you currently have no pain to enjoy life and play your sports without worry. If and when that situation changes you deal with it then. There happens to be many professional athletes who are bow legged.
