O-leg, also known as inversion of the knee, is manifested by the fact that when the feet are naturally straightened, the two heels touch each other, but the two sides of the knee joints can’t be brought together. The correction of inversion of the knee needs to be judged according to the specific situation, and the common ways of correction are wearing a brace and surgical treatment.

Common methods include tying the legs with straps, using splints or wearing corrective insoles, etc., and the time taken is relatively long.
