What should I do if I have a recurrence of genu varum after surgery?

Patient's question:

My child is 2 years and 2 months old. The child had an X-shaped leg surgery, which was performed in the hospital with 8-shaped screws. Now, it has recurred for over a year. The doctor said the growth plate was damaged and the maximum height would be 1.5 meters. What should I do if the X-shaped leg recurs after surgery?

Doctor's answer:

Currently, this situation may involve many functional disorders. Of course, it may also lead to many problems that could reappear. Generally, this situation can be specifically analyzed to help make predictions, and it is usually possible to clarify the current situation. It may be necessary for patients to face the hazards of X-shaped legs through post-rehabilitation training. We should actively undergo examinations and treatments, without avoiding medical visits. If X-shaped legs are not cured after prolonged treatment, it is essential to promptly switch to a new treatment plan.
