Bowed Legs in Children: Causes, Diagnosis, and Treatment #97853 (License: Personal Use)

This diagram shows genu varum, or bowed legs, characterized by an outward curvature of the tibia and fibula, causing the knees to remain apart while the ankles touch. It is often a normal variant in toddlers under age 2 but may require evaluation if persistent beyond age 3 or accompanied by pain, asymmetry, or rapid progression. The image highlights anatomical alignment for clinical education and parental awareness.

Used on pediatric orthopedic, developmental health, or family medicine web pages to explain normal vs. pathological bowing; supports content targeting parents of young children concerned about leg alignment.
