The best time to correct O-legs in children is at the age of 3~6 years old using conservative treatment. If conservative treatment is ineffective and surgery is needed, the age of 7 to 15 is usually chosen for surgical treatment.
Nutritional vitamin D deficiency and calcium deficiency, caused by bone softening and muscle joint laxity can lead to O-legs in children.O-legs need to be corrected in time. Correction is done by getting more sunlight, taking vitamin D and calcium supplements, and reducing weight bearing.
If O-legs are severe, they can be corrected with lower limb orthotics, pillars and splints. Strengthen the strength and muscle training, so that the muscles and joints can achieve a better balance.
If your child develops O-shaped legs, you need to seek medical attention as soon as possible to receive professional treatment and correction, so as not to delay the growth and development of children.
