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.

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.
