Question
My child is 2 years and 2 months old, and has severe X-legs. The knees bow forward, and the ankles are splayed apart by 8.9 centimeters. What type of orthosis is most effective?
Answer
If the X-leg condition is severe, it is recommended to consider surgery to resolve the issue. In severe cases, orthoses may be less effective in correction, but if an orthosis must be used, surgery can be an option. There are various treatment methods for X-legs, and since patient conditions vary, timely examination and diagnosis are necessary to treat the condition accordingly.
