Bow Legs treatment in Cancún

Bow legs, also known as genu varum, describe an outward curvature of the legs, so that the knees stay apart when the ankles are together. In the first years of life it can be part of normal development.

How it presents: it is seen when standing with the feet together; it is usually a visible finding rather than a painful one, though in some cases its persistence is a concern.

When is it worth checking? If the curvature is marked, asymmetric, worsens with age, or comes with pain or difficulty walking, an evaluation is recommended.

Which specialist assesses it? Orthopedics, and pediatric orthopedics in children, can assess bow legs; the general practitioner also provides guidance in an initial review. Clearing up your questions with a professional helps decide whether follow-up is advisable.
