Hi Dr. Thank you for your assistance. My nephew is a 24 year old, brilliant young man, he Is overweight with a sever bow legs. We have an appointment next week as he is no longer able to tolerate the pains daily after 8 hours per day.Besides loosing weight. What can he expect going in to have his legs straightened. I understand each case is unique. I guess my question is what can he expect, to have this corrected.I await your response.Thank you
Dear Sir/Madam, I thank you for having faith in Chat Doctor and for seeking help on your issue; I have gone through your symptoms, and in my opinion, he will benefit from weight reduction and any corrective surgery will only be useful if his knee joints are in good condition. Moreover if they are not so then also he may require a knee replacement in the future. I hope I have been able to provide you with a satisfactory solution, if you want to clear any doubts about my opinion, feel free to contact. Special note-Any medication prescribed needs to be taken after consultation with your personal doctor only. Thanks
