Bow legs refer to a condition where the legs curve outwards at the knees, giving an outward appearance. This condition is also known as genu varum or bandy legs. Other synonyms for bow legs include cow-hocked, knock-kneed, curved legs, and angular legs. While it is a common condition among young children, some adults may also develop it due to disease or genetic factors. Symptoms include difficulty walking, pain, and discomfort. However, treatment options include physical therapy, braces, exercises or surgery, depending on the severity of the condition. Early diagnosis and treatment is essential to prevent long-term complications.
