Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with a neurology department. How should I handle severe headaches and memory loss?Doctor's answer:
People with genu varum (O-shaped legs) have excessive weight concentrated on the inner surface of the knee joint due to inward angulation of the knee joints, which causes pain in the knee and calf. Excessive pressure and friction can further lead to wear and tear on the inner cartilage of the knee joint, tibial plateau collapse, and secondary osteoarthritis. The pain in the knee gradually worsens. In severe cases, it can affect normal walking, standing, and daily activities.Treatment for genu varum is divided into adults and children. In children, genu varum is a lower limb inward deviation and anterior 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.
