Did you know that bow legs are quite common in infants? It's true! Infants are born with this natural condition where their knees appear to "bow" out from their bodies. However, most children see their knees begin to straighten out between 18 and 24 months, often just as they start to take their first steps around 12 months of age. As a parent, it’s important to recognize the signs. If your child stands with their feet together and their toes point straight ahead but their knees don't touch, they likely have bow legs. While this is typically just a phase, Dr. Rohit Jain, as a pediatric bone specialist, emphasizes the importance of monitoring your child's development. Remember, early intervention can make all the difference!
If you have concerns about your child's bow legs or just want to ensure their development is on track, reach out to Dr. Rohit Jain today. With his support, you can ensure your child grows up strong and healthy!
If it is a pathological condition, we treat young infants with minimally invasive surgery like growth modulation with 8 plates while in case of older children or adolescents, the treatment is corrective Osteotomy.
Recent advances in the multidisciplinary management of musculoskeletal tumors in children and adolescents have dramatically increased cure rates for those with non-metastatic disease. New orthopedic techniques and devices, alongside cutting-edge radiation oncology technologies, offer better local control of primary tumors and promise fewer late adverse effects. While these advancements are promising, the journey doesn't end at treatment. Awareness and proactive management of potential late effects are crucial. We are committed to provide comprehensive care that extends beyond treatment to ensure the long-term health of our young patients.
