Question
My child is 5 years and 2 months old, and I’ve heard that if surgery is performed, the bones need to be broken. Is there any risk involved in surgery? If not, what should I do in everyday life to treat it?
Answer
O-Shape leg correction does not require breaking bones; surgery involves osteotomy and internal fixation correction, which can exceed ideal treatment outcomes postoperatively. It is recommended to seek treatment from a regular hospital’s department of surgery, where a surgical plan can be formulated under the guidance of a doctor. Post-surgery, proper care should be taken, and full recovery should be achieved before appropriate rehabilitation exercises are conducted. Diet should be light, avoiding stimulating foods, and calcium supplements should be taken appropriately. O-Shape leg patients can use dietary therapy as an auxiliary treatment while understanding regular treatment methods. In daily life, it is important to avoid both overeating and undereating, and definitely not to overindulge in food.
