How to prevent O-shaped legs and X-shaped legs in children?
Author: SAYYES
During pregnancy, the position of the fetus, the amount of amniotic fluid, the parity, the size of the fetus itself, the phenomenon of fetal pressure, etc. may have an impact on the abnormality of the fetal leg shape. After the baby is born, "varus changes and valgus feet" are the most common leg abnormalities.
Generally, the so-called O-shaped legs refer to knee varus that is symmetrical on both sides. When children grow to be one and a half to three years old, their leg shape will gradually change into valgus (looking like an X-shaped leg). When a baby is born, his legs may have been bent for a long time, so he will have O-shaped legs at birth.
In fact, unless the angle of bending is really too large, it can be regarded as a physiological abnormality. As it grows older, it will become normal. Parents do not need to worry too much. However, some parents I am still very worried. I am afraid that the unsightly leg shape will affect the child's walking posture in the future, and I am also afraid that other leg diseases will develop. If you really want to know whether your child's O-shaped legs are really serious enough to require treatment, you can take him to the hospital for some tests, such as using X-rays to check whether his knee is bent at an excessive angle. Otherwise, just keep observing. Can.
If the bending angle of the baby's legs does not become larger, but as the child grows older, other problems will appear. For example, the ability to sit and crawl is much behind the normal baby, or when the child reaches 2 If you still fall down frequently when walking at the age of 18, you may need to consider whether your baby's gross motor development is lagging behind. In addition, a small number of babies with O-shaped legs are caused by family genetic factors. Doctors emphasize that if parents’ own leg shape is somewhat inward-looking or O-shaped, if a child has a similar situation, it is normal and there is no need to panic.
Internal and external symptoms are not a syndrome. Sometimes they are combined with many problems. In addition to physiological problems, there may also be other pathological problems. "When many babies are just born, The baby's feet may be in a tucked-in position or the entire foot may be turned to the inside of the center of the body. Sometimes the baby's feet may automatically return to the normal position, or they may return to the normal position by gently pulling with the fingers. , if it can easily return to the normal position, it is a physiological varus or valgus foot.
Generally, as long as an experienced doctor sees a slight abnormality in the shape of the baby's legs when the baby is just born, they will usually deal with it immediately and give it a gentle push to confirm that external force correction can help the baby's feet return to normal. Location.
Parents should pay attention to children's leg movements at all times. "Natural observation is more important than anything else, so that you can know whether there is any abnormality at the first time." In addition to relying on the professional examination of a doctor, there are several key points that should be paid attention to. , seize the first opportunity to correct the baby's leg shape:
1. Subjective feeling: Does the baby cry out in pain very frequently?
2. Changes in appearance: strange walking posture, etc.
3. Functional manifestations: The baby often falls, complains of sore legs after walking a few steps, etc. These are all things that parents can observe on a daily basis. As long as something is wrong, it is better to take them to a pediatrician for examination. The most correct approach.
A little reminder from the doctor
The most important thing is to understand the overall development and changes of the child. Many leg abnormalities and diseases are just a transition for the overall development of the child. During this period, what is important is whether parents can understand the development and changes that their children should have.
If you want your baby to have a strong body and bones, balanced nutrition and exercise are the eternal methods. Many parents buy many nutrients and supplements to strengthen bone function, but the effect is not as good as many. Exercise and get adequate nutrition. Experts particularly recommend that parents give up expensive nutritional supplements and return to the most natural way to achieve a healthy body.
1. Try to avoid sleeping on your stomach. Although sleeping on the stomach may not directly prove to have a negative impact on the baby's leg shape, when the baby sleeps on the stomach, the child's ankles will turn in or out, which may also affect the shape of his legs over a long period of time.
2. Avoid sitting on your knees. Some children who are learning to crawl or walk may sit up as soon as they crawl. When children sit on their knees, their feet are mostly turned out. At this time, parents should try their best to help the baby move his feet and help him. Return to normal state, but it is better to avoid letting him kneel down as much as possible.
Correct and incorrect sitting postures:
1. Many children like to sit on their knees, which makes their legs form a W shape. This is the wrong way to sit.
2. The baby should be allowed to sit cross-legged.
Correction of "O-shaped legs" and "splayed legs"
"O-shaped legs" are commonly known as bow legs, medically known as genu varum, and externally splayed legs are also called "X-shaped legs" ", medically called genu valgus, is a common deformity in China. The incidence rate is especially high among teenagers. If young men and women suffer from this lower limb deformity, they will not only lose their body beauty and have trouble walking, but sometimes it will also affect their ability to join the army and work. As a result, some people become depressed and even pessimistic.
The main cause of "O"-shaped legs and "X"-shaped legs is rickets in children. , sequelae caused by fractures, trauma, osteomas, etc. When children suffer from rickets, due to insufficient calcium salts, the cartilage in the epiphyseal hyperplasia cannot ossify normally, and the original bone undergoes decalcification and absorption, so the bones soften and cannot be repaired. Withstand the action of gravity, combined with the relaxation of the ligaments around the knee joint, the support and protection of the bones are lost, resulting in bending and deformation of the lower leg bones, resulting in "O" and "X" shaped legs.
Leg deformities not only affect body shape and fitness, but also have a great impact on human health. People often lack awareness of their harm. Knee varus or valgus destroys the normal force distribution of the knee joint, causing stress on one side of the joint. The increase in biological stress and the relative decrease in the contralateral side will over time cause pain in the knee joint and affect joint movement, which can easily lead to osteoarthritis of the knee. Correcting this deformity can not only improve body shape, but also improve body shape. It can also improve the imbalance of stress distribution in the knee joint.
In recent years, external fixator and inverted U-shaped osteotomy of the tibial tubercle have been used in China to treat "O"-shaped and "X"-shaped legs. Very good therapeutic effects have been achieved.
The main advantages of this new therapy are: osteotomy is simple and safe, bone heals quickly, is not prone to delayed healing, and the use of external fixators facilitates plastic correction. The angle at the same time can make the bone healing angle accurate and easy to adjust; the patient can move around during the treatment, and the lower limb muscles will not atrophy. According to statistics, the complete correction rate of the deformity can reach more than 96%.
This new method also has the advantage of fast healing at the osteotomy site and shortens the treatment period. It can also increase the height of the plastic surgery recipient, generally about 2 cm after surgery, so it is welcomed by patients.
