price bow legs no more-what causes bow legs?
Again if a child has Blount’s disease
then surgery may be needed; however there are no complications of normal
bowing. However, if the bowing does not resolve on its own or becomes rapidly
and progressively worse than price bow
legs no more Blount’s disease or rickets should be considered. Now as previously described due to Blount’s
disease the tibia bows progressively and unlikely normal bowing that resolves
on its own then the bowing worsens.
Rickets is a disease of the bones caused
by vitamin D deficiency and it can result in severe leg bowing and other
changes in bones throughout the body when they new born. This deformity and
curvature is natural and almost always resolves without treatment. By two to
three years of life, the opposite problem often occurs and the child be
affected with knock kneed deformity.
This peaks at about the age of three and
can last until the age of seven or eight. Now all of this entirely normal and
it happens because of differential growth around the knees where the bones on
one side of each knees grows faster than the other. In reality nothing really
needs to be done for bow legs.
If the babies legs look different from
each other with one significantly bowed only then you should bring this to your
doctors attention. Now as your child grows older and begins to walk you should
point out abnormalities with walking or balance. Again if bowing of the legs
seems to be getting progressively worse rather than better than your doctor
should be informed.
Continual bowing is called Blount’s disease
and it is caused when part of the growth plate in the legs grows too fast so
that the leg bone or the tibia bows itself. Again if the bowing is so severe
that your child is unable to stand or walk then please talk to your doctor.
Once a child is three years old, the bowing should have largely corrected
itself.
