O-leg refers to knee inversion deformity, which affects aesthetics on the one hand, and affects the force on the knee joint on the other hand, leading to osteoarthritis of the knee joint.
1. Affecting aesthetics: severe inversion deformity of the knee often affects walking and aesthetics.
2. Leads to osteoarthritis of the knee: Knee inversion deformity will lead to the concentration of body weight on the inner side of the knee, resulting in more stress on the inner side of the knee, and osteoarthritis of the knee will occur in later stages, which may affect the activities of the knee joint and even affect the quality of life of the older people.
Mild knee valgus deformity can be corrected by rehabilitation exercises and braces, while severe cases can be corrected by surgical osteotomy, which needs to be combined with age and the degree of valgus deformity for comprehensive treatment.
If you have knee valgus deformity, you should consult a doctor in time, complete the relevant examination, clarify the severity, and follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment, so as to avoid delaying the condition.
