Dr. Deepak Bhaskar corrects bow legs (genu varum) and knock knees (genu valgum) in older adults with arthritis, usually through knee replacement with alignment correction, and in teenagers through deformity correction surgery. Consult him at StarMax Specialty Clinic, Charkop, Kandivali West.
Why legs become bowed or knock-kneed
In older adults, arthritis wears the inner or outer part of the knee unevenly, so the legs gradually bend. In children and teenagers, the cause may be growth or bone conditions.
How it is corrected
- Adults with arthritis: total knee replacement straightens the leg while replacing the worn joint
- Teenagers and young adults: deformity correction (osteotomy or guided growth) depending on age
- Early or mild cases: monitoring, exercise and physiotherapy
