What instruments are used to correct leg deformities in young children?

Patient's question:

What instruments are used to correct the X-leg of young children? Is it necessary to go to the hospital for treatment? How long does it take to improve after treatment? Please help me!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, how old is the child? If the symptoms appear in children under three, it could be caused by calcium deficiency. Oral calcium supplements can be used for treatment, and increasing sun exposure can promote calcium absorption. Monitor the changes promptly, as the child is in a defensive stage, and there may still be changes in the legs. It's important to observe closely.
X-leg refers to a condition where, when standing with both feet together, the knees on both sides touch first, while the heels do not come together. When walking, the knees may collide with each other. When the feet are brought together, only the knees can touch, with gaps between the thighs and calves.
