Question

How to deal with baby’s O-shaped legs caused by rickets?

Answer

The baby is 1 year and 4 months old and started walking at 1 year. The walking posture is not good, with the waist leaning forward and obvious O-shaped legs. An X-ray examination confirmed that it was caused by rickets. The doctor recommended taking or injecting 300,000 units of Vitamin D3, supplementing calcium and zinc, and undergoing daily physical therapy, massaging the calf muscles. For this condition, it is suggested to first conduct a comprehensive surgical examination to determine the cause.
