The cause of O-leg is very complex, so you know what is the cause of O-leg? Here are the reasons of O-leg carefully arranged for you. Let's have a look. The correction methods of O-leg include: operation, orthopedic instrument, splint, leggings, exercise, correction insole, etc. The operation is suitable for patients with skeletal deformity. Through osteotomy and internal fixation, we can immediately restore the normal limb force line and appearance.

The cause of O-leg
1. Knee deformity caused by rickets or osteomalacia (the reason is lack of vitamin D);
2. The development of femur or tibia is abnormal due to the anterior horn gray matter of spinal cord;
3. Abnormal development of femur or tibia caused by bone injury;
4. Osteomyelitis leads to abnormal development of femur or tibia;
5. Other diseases (such as sequelae caused by fracture, trauma, osteoma, etc.) lead to abnormal development of femur or tibia. Among the above factors, rickets is the most common one. The pathological changes of O-shaped legs mostly occur in the tibia. When standing upright, the two lower limbs are curved and protruding outwards. The inner malleolus of the two feet are close to each other, and the two knees can not be closed together. There is a large distance between them, which is similar to the "O" shape, so it is called O-shaped legs. The main clinical manifestations are knee deformity and walking disorder. The patients with long course of disease can be secondary to tension side knee ligament relaxation, degenerative arthritis, patellar dislocation and chondromalacia, and cause corresponding symptoms. This disease occurs mostly in children and adolescents. It may involve one or both lower limbs, or the lesion is limited to one lower limb. It is similar to "d" shape in appearance, so it is also called "d" shape leg. In fact, it is a special type of O-shape leg.
Treatment of O-type leg
The correction methods of O-leg include: operation, orthopedic instrument, splint, leggings, exercise, correction insole, etc.
The operation is suitable for patients with skeletal deformity. Through osteotomy and internal fixation, we can immediately restore the normal limb force line and appearance.
For severe varus deformity, one-stage new osteotomy combined with internal fixation may cause nerve, vascular tension and traction, which may lead to related complications. Therefore, osteotomy assisted by external fixator can be used to correct the deformity slowly, avoid the complications of nerve and blood vessel, and the operation is minimally invasive.
The principle of non-surgical correction is basically the same, which is to relax the medial collateral ligament of the knee joint and restore the stable structure of the medial and lateral sides of the knee joint. So that the tibia valgus, to achieve the goal of correction. The advantage of non-surgical correction method is low cost and low risk, while the defect is active treatment, which needs long-term adherence. Without perseverance, the purpose of correction can not be achieved.
Correction of O-leg
1. Eight step correction. Step back, pay attention to heel first, straight line. Eight steps at a time.
2. The way to exercise the inner muscles of the legs: separate the feet and shoulder width, slightly buckle the feet, buckle the knee joint, do squat and stand up. 20 times a group, 2-4 groups a day. You don't have to squat down completely.
3. Correct the direction of femur. Lie on your back, bend your feet, make a 45 degree angle between your legs and thighs, and lift your hips in eight steps. Step back, pay attention to heel first, straight line. Eight steps at a time.

3. Correct the direction of femur. Lie flat with feet bent up, legs and thighs at 45 degrees, hips raised, so that the upper body and thighs into a plane.
