Treatment:

The corrective methods of O-leg are: surgery, correcting O-instrument, splint, leggings, exercise, correcting insoles and so on.

Surgery is suitable for patients with skeletal deformities. Through surgical osteotomy and internal fixation, the normal limb force line and appearance can be restored immediately.

Severe genu varus deformity, one-stage new osteotomy and internal fixation may cause nervous and vascular tension, which may easily cause related complications. Therefore, external fixator can be used to assist osteotomy and orthopedic, slowly correct deformity, avoid neurovascular complications, and the operation is minimally invasive.

The principle of non-surgical correction methods is basically the same, which is to relax the medial collateral ligament of knee joint and restore the stable structure of medial and lateral knee joint. So as to make the tibia valgus and achieve the purpose of correction. The advantages of non-surgical correction are low cost and low risk, while the disadvantages are active treatment, slow effect and long-term persistence. Without perseverance, it is impossible to achieve the goal of correction.
