A friend’s child currently has bowlegs (genu varum). We’re unsure whether this is due to abnormal development, and they plan to take the child to the hospital for an evaluation soon. Which department should one visit for bowlegs?

In general, this condition can be addressed through targeted correction in the Department of Rehabilitation. This issue may be associated with calcium deficiency; therefore, appropriate calcium supplementation and other related adjustments are recommended. Subsequently, treatment plans—including physical interventions such as bandaging—can be tailored based on the patient’s specific clinical progression to help alleviate symptoms. I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
