Patient's question:
3-year-old girl, has been walking with knee valgusDoctor's answer:
Need to go to the hospital for a check-up. Those with an ankle width of 3-6 cm can be treated non-surgically: massage the lateral thigh muscles during the day, and after the child falls asleep at night, bring the two ankles and the femoral condyles closer together and bind them tightly with a bandage or use a splint to gradually correct them; supplement calcium and vitamin D, and get more sun exposure. Those with an ankle width of 6-9 cm can undergo surgery: (1) Lateral femoral epiphysis osteotomy (2) Supracondylar osteotomy of the femur. You can contact an orthopedic physician for consultation on correction methods (including surgery).
