How is the correction of genu varum done?

Patient's question:

My child is 5 years and 2 months old. It is said that if surgery is performed, the bones will be broken. Will there be risks if surgery is performed? If surgery is not performed, what should be done on a daily basis to treat it?

Doctor's answer:

Osteocele correction does not require breaking the bones. The surgery corrects the deformity through osteotomy and internal fixation, which can achieve outcomes beyond ideal treatment goals. It is recommended to seek treatment at a formal hospital surgery department. Based on specific conditions, the surgical plan should be formulated under the guidance of a doctor. After surgery, proper care should be taken, and appropriate rehabilitation exercises should be performed once full recovery is achieved. The diet should be light, and foods should be avoided. Calcium supplements should be taken appropriately.
Osteocele patients can, while understanding formal treatment, use dietary therapy as a complementary treatment in daily life. It is essential to avoid extreme hunger or overeating in daily dietary habits, and never indulge in binge eating.
