Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I visit a neurology department. How should I handle severe headaches and memory loss?Doctor's answer:
People with genu varum (O-leg) have excessive body weight concentrated on the inner surface of the knee joint due to inward angulation of the knee joint, which causes pain in the knee and calf. Excessive pressure and friction can further lead to wear and tear of the inner knee cartilage, tibial plateau collapse, and secondary osteoarthritis. The pain in the knee gradually worsens. In severe cases, it can affect normal walking, standing, and other daily activities.Treatment for genu varum is divided into adults and children. In children, genu varum is a lower limb inward angulation and trunk deformity caused by vitamin D deficiency rickets. If it is not corrected in time, it can severely affect development. The surgery performed on children involves cutting the femur and tibia, then straightening them, and fixing them with plaster to correct the genu varum.
