Bone Deformities

Bone deformities like bow legs and knock knees can affect a child’s growth and walking pattern. At Aarshiva Hospital and ICU, we provide expert evaluation and personalized treatment ranging from observation to corrective surgery for proper limb alignment and healthy development.

Pediatric Bone Deformity Treatment in Children

Bone deformities in children can affect limb alignment, posture, and walking pattern. Common conditions such as bow legs (genu varum) and knock knees (genu valgum) may develop during growth. Early orthopedic assessment is important to determine whether the condition is part of normal development or requires treatment.

At Aarshiva Hospital and ICU, we offer comprehensive diagnosis and advanced treatment options to correct bone deformities and support balanced growth.


Common Pediatric Bone Deformities

1️⃣ Bow Legs (Genu Varum)

A condition where the legs curve outward at the knees, creating a gap between the knees when standing.

2️⃣ Knock Knees (Genu Valgum)

A condition where the knees touch while the ankles remain apart.

While mild cases may correct naturally with growth, severe or persistent deformities require medical evaluation.


Symptoms to Watch For

  • Visible leg curvature

  • Uneven walking pattern

  • Knee or leg pain

  • Frequent tripping

  • Unequal limb alignment


Treatment Options

Treatment depends on the child’s age, severity of deformity, and underlying cause:

  • Observation and regular monitoring

  • Bracing in selected cases

  • Growth modulation procedures

  • Corrective osteotomy (surgical realignment)

  • Post-treatment rehabilitation

Our primary goal is to restore proper limb alignment, ensure balanced bone growth, and promote a normal gait pattern.


Why Early Treatment Matters

Timely intervention helps:

  • Prevent joint stress and early arthritis

  • Improve posture and walking mechanics

  • Avoid long-term deformity

  • Support healthy physical development

At Aarshiva Hospital and ICU, we focus on accurate diagnosis, child-specific treatment planning, and long-term follow-up to achieve the best functional outcomes.
