Patient's question:
My son is three and a half months old. I feel his legs aren't straight and he has a bit of X-leg. How can we completely recover from this?Doctor's answer:
The child has been three years old for half a year. X-shaped legs are usually caused by skeletal changes due to rickets resulting from a lack of vitamins. Since the skeletal deformation is already difficult to correct, it is best to supplement the child with calcium and vitamin D to prevent further deterioration caused by calcium deficiency. Currently, the child's leg shape still looks acceptable.Facing the impact of X-shaped legs, we should actively undergo examination and treatment, avoiding hesitation to seek medical attention. If the X-shaped legs do not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly switch to a new treatment plan.
