How to correctly treat a child's rickets with O-shaped legs?

Patient's question:

The child was diagnosed with rickets at birth and is now ten years old. Over the years, they have been receiving treatment, and while the condition has not expanded severely, their O-shaped legs are particularly pronounced. The current doctor says this is not very important and that there is no need to rush treatment for now. This is to ask you how to properly treat the child's rickets and O-shaped legs.

Doctor's answer:

In this case, most of it is caused by a lack of calcium, so appropriate calcium supplementation should be helpful for the current condition. However, in this situation, don't blindly supplement with calcium; it's still necessary to conduct a detailed check of trace element levels to confirm. This can better help in making predictions. Generally, it's also necessary to have rehabilitation and re-adjustment.
