What if the child's leg is bent?

Children's legs are a little bent, so they should be treated differently according to different situations. The following situations are more common: 1, sequelae of vitamin D deficiency rickets, most of which appear after 3 years old. If the legs are O-shaped, and the ankles and feet are together, the distance between the bilateral knees is more than 3cm, or the knees are X-shaped, and the distance between the ankles is more than 3cm, it will cause the sequelae of rickets, so it is necessary to wear orthopedic shoes to correct it and supplement vitamins. 2. If you have O-legs when you are 18 months old, and your knees are varus within 15 degrees, or you have X-legs of 15 degrees after 2-3 years old, you can observe it, and there is no big problem. Children with bent legs need to take the following measures. First, parents should take their children to the orthopedics department of a secondary hospital as soon as possible, and make clear the cause of this symptom before handling it. More commonly, malnutrition leads to deformity of lower limb bones or joints. In addition, epiphysis-related diseases cannot be ruled out. Second, conservative treatment can be the first choice for the above diseases in most cases. Conservative treatment mainly uses related lower limb braces to fix children's lower limbs. Through continuous fixation, the correction effect can be achieved. In the process of treatment, compound preparations of calcium supplementation and vitamin D are also needed. Thirdly, if there are very serious skeletal deformities of lower limbs or epiphyseal-related diseases, surgical correction may be needed. The principle of operation is mainly to make relevant osteotomy on local bones or repair the diseased epiphysis accordingly.
