bow legs
Bow legs, also known as genu varum, is a condition where the legs appear bowed out, meaning the knees stay wide apart even when the ankles are together. This can be a normal part of a child's development, but in some cases, can indicate an underlying disease such as rickets or Blount's disease. It can also occur in adults due to wear-and-tear arthritis (osteoarthritis), particularly in the knees.
