When the child is approximately 3 years old, the normal appearance of legs should be visible. This way a child should stand with the ankles together and the knees just touch to reflect normal position. If the situation with bow legs remains after this period, the child can be called bowlegged.

Are all bow-legs in children abnormal? No! Bow-legs are a normal part of the growth and development in children. A bow leg appearance is most common during the second year, and then begins to resolve. Blount’s Disease is a specific problem of the growth plate, not simply a more severe bow-legged appearance.

On May 14th, 2013 Jo B. Guerra Said:

Various health problems may cause the bow legged condition of the human body. The most commonly known reason for such leg development has to do with the way of folding of the legs in the mother’s uterus. In most of the cases the legs straighten out eventually, after the child gets into its third year. Some disorders in the development can also cause genu varum. There is a disease caused by deficiency of Vitamin D called rickets, which can often be the culprit. When we are talking about adults, the condition of bow legs can develop after a fracture or as a result of a joint disease which is degenerative. Adults are often affected in the spine alignment because of the bowed legs, which can cause unpleasant pain and discomfort.

On May 16th, 2013 Tad Clayton Said:

Treating a child with bow legs often requires the use of bracing. While some pediatric orthopedists may recommend a conservative approach through delayed walking and even measures taken to prevent the child from standing on both feet, the use of bracing will prove to be more beneficial. In the bracing process, the infants legs are measures and braces are custom made based on the child’s stature. The braces are then worn for a variety of time periods, each day, based on the pediatric orthopedists recommendations. For children diagnosed with rickets-induced bow legs, bracing in addition to the supplement of Vitamin D and calcium will be required. With appropriate early intervention, most bow legged children will remedy the condition on their own without significant intervention.

On May 30th, 2013 Delmer I. Underwood Said:

The most common cause of genu varum is rickets or any condition that prevents bones from forming properly. Skeletal problems, infection and tumors can affect the growth of the leg, which can cause one leg to be bowed. Arthritis, if it affects the inside of the knee more than the outside can lead to bowed legs, as can a fracture that does not heal properly. Some professions, such as jockey, can lead to bow-leggedness, as can physical trauma.

On June 4th, 2013 Veronica Vincent Said:

In most cases persisting after childhood, there is little or no effect on the ability to walk. Due to uneven stress and wear on the knees, however, even milder manifestations can see an accelerated onset of arthritis . Those with bowlegs and a genetic predisposition for developing arthritis will likely start having arthritic symptoms around age 30.

On June 27th, 2013 Victoria Hensley Said:

Infants are born bowlegged because of their folded position in the mother’s womb. Bowed legs begin to straighten once the child starts to walk and the legs begin to bear weight (about 12 to 18 months old).

One of the common types of malformations of the legs, whose carriers are colloquially called bow-legged, is the Blount’s Disease. This condition affects the area from the knees up to the ankles and the bones which are subjected to it bend in a manner that makes the leg look like a bow. Generally, we can divide the Blount’s Disease into two categories. The first category is the Blount’s Disease which appears in children younger than four. This condition is to be treated seriously, since not diagnosing it and not treating it can lead to the emergence of the second kind of the Disease. The second kind is present in youngsters, in some cases only one leg is affected, in others both of them. The diagnosis and the treatment depend upon the age of the patient at the time the condition is discovered. In most cases wearing braces can cure the Blount’s Disease, especially if the child is younger, but in some cases the treatment involves surgical intervention. The goal of the intervention is to straighten the affected bones and elongating them is optional.

Whenever I went to the stores to search for costumes, they all had the same short and sexy costumes that are not ideal for my bow legs… well, I haven’t given up so easily! I found some online stores with a wide selection of costumes that to my opinion can look great on bow legs!
