How much is the correction of bowlegs? Generally, it is around 2000 yuan. Experts say that the cost of bowleg correction is not a fixed figure, but is directly related to many factors, such as the choice of hospital and technology. Here's a detailed analysis from these two aspects.
1. Choose a hospital: At present, there are many hospitals that can do arch correction, but the charging standards of hospitals with different qualifications are different. Therefore, there are differences in the fees for bowleg correction, but in general, regular hospitals charge fees in strict accordance with state regulations, and there will be no arbitrary charges. Therefore, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for bow correction.
2. Choice of technology: There are many kinds of bowleg correction technologies at present, and different methods have different treatment effects, so there will naturally be differences in fees. However, the international leading technology adopted by ordinary regular hospitals has achieved good results.

1, a simple motion correction method
(1) Stand up straight, put your feet together, and bend your knees to do squats and stand up for 20-30 times.
(2) Bend down, and make circular movements with both hands and knees to the left and right for 20-30 times.
(3) Keep your feet slightly open, bend over, and put your knees in your arms to stop your knees from leaning inward. Stop for 10 second each time and do it for 5- 10 times.
(4) Stand with two feet in parallel. First, take the heel as the axis and do toe abduction and internal rotation; Then do heel abduction and internal rotation 20-30 times with tiptoe as the axis.
(5) Sit in a chair and try to hold the book with your calf for a while. If you tie your knees with rubber bands, the effect will be more obvious.
(6) Sit on your knees, your waist collapses, your feet slowly move outward, and your waist will gradually straighten. Do it 15-20 times.
2. External fixation therapy
Older patients with severe deformity often need orthopedic treatment, and the satisfactory orthopedic effect depends on the carefully designed surgical plan before operation. Bowed legs are accompanied by tibial pronation deformity, which can cause one limb to shorten and both sides to be short. It should be corrected at the same time during operation. Drug treatment is often needed for bowlegged legs caused by special reasons (such as renal rickets with low phosphorus and anti-D). After the condition is stable, osteotomy and orthopedic surgery are feasible.
The traditional treatment of bowleg is wedge osteotomy at the upper tibia through the lateral incision of the calf, oblique osteotomy at different planes of the fibula, internal fixation with crossed L-shaped nail plate or Kirschner wire, and external fixation with plaster cast.
Minimally invasive osteotomy and external fixation to correct O-leg and other deformities have the advantages of early departure from the ground (7- 10 days after operation), less pain and quick recovery. The adjustable Meng He frame has definite orthopedic effect and short treatment course, which is shorter than the traditional operation 1/3- 1/2. This technology is in a leading position at home and abroad and is well received by patients.
3. How to prevent bowlegs?
If the child has a mild "O-leg", parents don't have to worry too much. When the child grows up or reaches a certain age, this symptom will basically get better.
1, walking posture. Never walk out of the figure 8. When walking outside the figure 8, the legs are exerting force to the side, giving the knees an outward force. In this way, the lateral collateral ligament of the knee joint is pulled and hit once every step. After a long time, the lateral collateral ligament of the knee joint relaxes, the lateral stable structure of the knee joint is unstable, and the knee joint rotates inward to form an O-shaped leg.
2. Sitting posture. You can't sit cross-legged, cross-legged or kneeling.
3. Stand. You can't stand on one leg in a relaxed posture. When standing in a relaxed posture, the legs and knees will also receive outward force, and the pronation angle will increase. After a long time, O-shaped legs will be formed, or the O-shaped legs will be aggravated.
4. Sleeping position. Never cross your legs when you sleep.
5. Exercise. Encourage children to do more outdoor activities or sports to increase the strength of lower limb muscles and the absorption of calcium. Most small patients can basically return to normal after attending primary school.
6. Add high-calcium foods, such as laver, cheese, string beans, kelp, egg yolk, black sesame, shrimp skin, soybeans, shepherd's purse, black fungus and so on. Children are usually encouraged to bask in the sun regularly to promote the absorption of calcium.
