Question
A two-year-old child has been identified with genu varum, characterized by knees that extend forward and form an X shape. What exactly is genu varum?
Answer
Genu varum is not uncommon in children and is often related to inadequate nutrition intake and calcium deficiency. To improve this condition, it is recommended that parents provide their children with nutrient-rich foods and supplement with calcium. Children at this age are in a period of rapid growth, so nutrient intake is particularly important. Although the treatment for genu varum may take time, maintaining a positive attitude and continuously monitoring the child’s health will help promote their bone development.
