Patient's question:
Doctor, my son's physical growth and development seem not to be very good, and recently I noticed that his leg shape is not quite right when walking. I feel like I don't know if he is lacking calcium. He is currently a little bit of genu varum, and I would like to ask you, doctor, how is genu varum treated?Doctor's answer:
X is a leg deformity caused by calcium deficiency during a child's growth and development. This condition should be detected early, and subsequent corrective treatment through additional positional rehabilitation can help correct the child's leg shape. If the patient is an adult, leg correction treatment becomes particularly complex, and the results are often unsatisfactory. Surgical treatment may be an option. Mild X-shaped legs can be treated through standing, exercises, and wearing orthopedic devices without the need for surgery.
