Bow-Legged Posture (Genu Varum): Causes, Diagnosis & Treatment #3048603 (License: Personal Use)

This diagram shows a classic bow-legged stance, medically termed genu varum, characterized by outward curvature of the legs at the knees, causing the knees to be spaced apart when the ankles are together. The illustration highlights the lower limb alignment from hip to foot, emphasizing the angular deformity without indicating underlying pathology. It is commonly used to differentiate normal developmental variation in toddlers from persistent or pathological cases requiring intervention.

Used in pediatric orthopedics, physical therapy, and patient education materials to explain lower limb alignment abnormalities; matches user intent for understanding symptoms, diagnosis, or reassurance about childhood leg development.
