O-shaped legs can be corrected. The main methods to correct O-shaped legs include conservative treatment and surgical treatment.
Conservative treatment is suitable for mild O-shaped legs, which can be corrected through thigh muscle massage, massage therapy, leggings, and orthopedic braces. For severe O-shaped legs and the patient is over five years old, surgery may be required. Minor patients can be corrected by epiphyseal block, while adult patients are mainly corrected by osteotomy.
It should be noted that before receiving correction, the patient should first go to the orthopedics department of the local hospital for treatment to observe the severity of the O-shaped leg through physical examination and X-ray examination, so as to choose the appropriate correction method. At the same time, regular follow-up visits are required after surgery to observe the effect of correction.
