Can the baby O-leg be corrected? Baby's O-shaped leg can be corrected with some correction straps, and the two legs tied together can help the child achieve the correction effect. Moreover, such a corrective belt is loose, but it is not irritating, otherwise the baby will definitely feel uncomfortable. If you can't use a corrective belt, you will generally consider doing minimally invasive plastic surgery for your child to make it look more normal. You can go to the hospital for examination.
Can baby's O-leg be corrected with bandage? From birth to 1 year and a half is the period of physiological genu varum of infants, and most of them will get better by themselves. One-and-a-half-year-old children, even if they have O-legs, are mainly due to calcium deficiency, so calcium and vitamin AD drops should be supplemented appropriately. If two years old is still obvious, you need orthopedic braces. But if it is too serious or pathological genu varus, it needs treatment.
Can O-legs be inherited? Generally speaking, O-legs caused by heredity are not without. This is usually due to achondroplasia, a very rare genetic disease that usually leads to severe O-legs. Generally speaking, the appearance of O-leg is caused by the deformation of knee joint caused by walking, sports, standing posture and sitting posture, and the abnormal angle between femur and tibia.
Children get exercise through walking, ligament tension and muscle strength, and gradually become tough, which can maintain joint stability. At this time, their legs will look straighter and straighter.
Because of the stimulation of body pressure, the calf bone grows gradually. Because of the characteristics of O-shape, the inner side is more oppressed and the epiphysis is more stimulated, so the bone grows faster and the calf bone will gradually straighten.
Therefore, children's O-legs and physiological genu varus are generally obvious at birth. It is the most serious at about one year old, and then it gradually improves. By 18 months to about two years old, it is basically straightened.
