The method of O-type leg straightening

summary

The O-leg is also known as genu varus. It's a little out of shape. When the lower limbs are naturally straight or standing, the inner ankles of the two feet can touch each other. Under the long-term stimulation of some external forces, the O-shaped legs will be formed. What are the methods of O-shaped legs? Let me tell you about them.

The method of O-type leg straightening

First: [O-shaped leg correction methods generally include] surgical correction treatment (features: shorter correction time, high treatment cost); non-surgical treatment: splint, exercise, orthopedic instrument, leggings, correction insole (features: correction time is slightly longer than surgical treatment time, need persistence, low cost, acceptable range). Patients can be treated according to their own situation, combined with the doctor's advice.

Second: [surgical treatment] surgical treatment is generally used in patients with severe O-leg, and the bone has been deformed. We can use "surgical osteotomy + internal fixation", which can quickly restore the appearance of the limbs. If the condition is more serious, we need to use external fixator to assist orthopedics, to avoid pulling blood vessels and nerves, causing unnecessary complications.

Third: [non operative correction method] through the effect of external force, the ligaments near the knee joint can be restored and relaxed to a stable degree. Can achieve the purpose of tibial valgus, so as to correct. The risk of non-surgical treatment is relatively small, and the cost is not very high, but it needs great patience. Although the effective time will be very slow, we should persevere.

matters needing attention

Whether it is surgical treatment or non-surgical treatment, we need to have great confidence. Especially non-surgical treatment, because the effect is not obvious, there will be a sense of inferiority, will also be discouraged, family and friends should encourage more. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the usual standing posture, walking posture and sitting posture. If we have some bad habits, we will develop O-legs. We should get rid of the bad habits.
