Yes. I have bowed legs and I was wondering if I got a brace if that would help straighten permanently? My back is pretty bad and I am 21 years old. By the time I qualify for surgery the extensive damage will already be done. If a brace is a good idea, what type should I get?
Hi, There is no medicine or brace which is likely to help you in correcting bow legs at this age. If bow legs are troubling you then get them corrected surgically corrected-only the deformity and not the joint part. It will help you in reducing the joint damage also, and now we have methods where you do not have to in bed rest also. Please discuss with your doctor. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
