Bow legs, also known as genu varum, is a condition where the legs curve outward at the knees, causing a distinct space between the feet and ankles when standing with the knees together.

There are two types of bow legs:
1.) Physiological bow legs: A common and normal condition in infants and toddlers, and typically resolves on its own as the child grows.

2.) Pathological bow legs: They are caused by underlying medical conditions such as rickets, Blount's disease, or arthritis.

Symptoms of bow legs can include walking with a waddling gait, knee or hip pain, and a noticeable gap between the knees when standing.

If left untreated, bow legs can lead to joint pain, arthritis, and difficulty with walking.

Treatment options for bow legs include:

Bracing

Physical therapy

In severe cases: surgery to correct the alignment of the bones.
