Better Mobility & Posture
Bow legs (Genu Varum) and knock knees (Genu Valgum) are common lower limb alignment disorders that can affect both children and adults. While mild cases may not cause significant symptoms, severe deformities can lead to knee pain, abnormal walking patterns, poor posture, reduced mobility, and early wear and tear of the knee joints.
At Dr. Amar Sarin’s center, advanced bow leg correction surgery and knock knee treatment are performed using modern deformity correction techniques. The goal is to restore proper leg alignment, improve function, reduce joint stress, and help patients return to an active and confident lifestyle.
Bow legs occur when the knees remain apart while the ankles touch when standing with the feet together. This creates an outward curvature of the legs and can place excessive stress on the inner side of the knee joint.
Knock knees occur when the knees touch each other while the ankles remain apart. This inward angulation can affect gait, posture, and overall lower limb alignment.

Bow leg correction surgery involves carefully planned bone realignment procedures (osteotomy) to restore the natural mechanical axis of the leg. The correction helps distribute weight evenly across the knee joint, reducing stress and improving long-term function.
Knock knee correction focuses on restoring proper lower limb alignment by correcting excessive inward angulation of the knees. The procedure improves gait, stability, and overall limb function.

Bow legs (Genu Varum) occur when the knees remain apart while the ankles touch. Knock knees (Genu Valgum) occur when the knees touch but the ankles remain apart while standing.
The ideal age depends on the severity of the deformity, growth status, and symptoms. Both children and adults may be candidates after orthopedic evaluation.
Recovery varies depending on the procedure and extent of correction. Most patients gradually resume daily activities within a few weeks, while complete recovery may take several months.
Some discomfort is expected after surgery, but modern pain management techniques help ensure a comfortable recovery process.
Yes. The goal of surgery is to restore proper alignment, improve gait mechanics, and enhance overall mobility and function.
In most cases, the correction is long-lasting and permanent once the bones heal in the corrected position.
