How to correct bow legged and pigeon toes?

See below: If these condition are caught at a very early age often times bracing will take care of it. If in later years then surgery is usually required.

Reconstructive surge: Bowleggedness may be corrected by the use of the ilizarov devices/ external fixation frames by a qualified surgeon. The pigeon toes come in different degree of deformity and may or may not need the corrective surgery at the midfoot level. May have to be delayed in a very small child.

Brace: Brace at a young age can correct, serial casting too. But at 40 years old these wouldn't help. Might want to consider orthotics made to induce out toeing gait.

Why?: Unless there is severe instability, pain, or difficulty with daily life, intoeing correction is not recommended because it requires surgery at your age. Even younger ages, most intoeing goes away by age 12 on its own though bracing may help to prevent severe deformity. Hope that helps.
