Bow leg correction is a medical procedure aimed at treating a condition where the legs curve outward at the knees, creating a noticeable gap between them when the ankles are together. This condition, known medically as genu varum, is common in infants and toddlers, often correcting itself with growth. However, when the condition persists beyond early childhood or occurs in adults, bow leg correction may be necessary to improve alignment, reduce pain, and prevent joint damage.
