In life, when we have mild symptoms of bow legs, it may be difficult for us to notice at this time, and we will not think about it as bow legs. However, if the physical symptoms worsen, we must take some treatment measures, even bow leg surgery. Let’s learn about this knowledge together. The surgery for O-shaped legs is actually called bow legs, which is also called genu valgum in our medicine. This kind of outward-turned legs is also called X-shaped legs. It has been called genu valgum in medicine and is a common deformity in China. If such a disease is discovered, surgery for bow legs is the best solution and we cannot ignore it. The main cause of "O"-shaped legs and "X"-shaped legs deformities is rickets in children. A small number of them are sequelae caused by cartilage development disorders, fractures, trauma, osteoma, etc. When children suffer from rickets, due to lack of calcium salts, the cartilage of the epiphyseal hyperplasia cannot ossify normally, and the original bone becomes decalcified and absorbed, causing the bone to soften and unable to withstand the effects of gravity. In addition, the ligaments around the knee joint become loose, losing their support and protection for the bones, resulting in bending and deformation of the calf bones, causing "O" and "X" shaped legs. This leg deformity not only affects body shape and fitness, but also has a great impact on human health. People often lack awareness of its harm. Genu valgum or valgum disrupts the normal force distribution of the knee joint, increasing the biological stress on one side of the joint and reducing it on the opposite side. Over time, it will cause pain in the knee joint when walking, and joint movement will also be affected, which can easily lead to osteoarthritis of the knee. Correcting this deformity can not only improve body shape, but also improve the imbalanced stress distribution in the knee joint. If bow legs are not treated with surgery in time, it will seriously affect people's lives, such as affecting military service, work, and even love. It will cause a lot of mental depression and even pessimism. We must pay attention to this situation. |
