How to distinguish bowlegged legs? (Yes)

Pathogenesis of bowlegged leg;

1, calcium deficiency and heredity are the two foundations for the formation of O-legs, but the more direct reasons are walking posture, standing posture, sitting posture and some exercise.

2. Walking with splayed feet, standing easily, wearing high heels for a long time, sitting in a dish, kneeling, etc. Will give the knee joint outward strength, and this force will pull the lateral collateral ligament of the knee joint, resulting in long-term relaxation of the lateral collateral ligament of the knee joint.

3. The medial and lateral collateral ligament of the knee joint is the stable structure of the medial and lateral angle of the knee joint. When the lateral collateral ligament is relaxed, the medial collateral ligament will pull the calf and tibia to rotate inward with excessive force, resulting in genu varus.
