O-shaped legs are generally corrected through surgical methods, with a cost ranging from approximately 20,000 yuan to 100,000 yuan. Due to the different conditions and surgical plans for each patient, the cost may vary. O-shaped legs are often caused by congenital deformities, calcium deficiency, or unhealthy living habits. If not treated promptly, they can lead to excessive wear and tear of knee joints, causing secondary osteoarthritis. Therefore, it is important to choose a formal hospital for treatment of O-shaped legs.
The surgical treatment for O-shaped legs often involves the correction of knee varus deformity. This deformity is mostly caused by congenital deformities, calcium deficiency during growth, or unhealthy living habits. It is characterized by the inner ankles of both feet touching each other when the legs are naturally straightened, but the two knee joints cannot be close to each other. During clinical examination of the full-length X-ray of the lower limbs, the angle of knee joint deformity can be determined.
Due to knee varus, the body weight is excessively concentrated on the inner joint surface of the knee joint. Therefore, excessive pressure and friction on the inner side of the knee joint can lead to excessive wear and tear of the cartilage surface on the inner side of the knee joint. In severe cases, it can also cause collapse of the knee joint platform and secondary osteoarthritis.
For patients with severe knee varus, i.e., O-shaped legs, it is recommended to undergo timely corrective surgery. As the condition and varus degree of the legs vary, different surgical instruments may be used. The cost of surgery ranges from approximately 20,000 yuan to 100,000 yuan. It is necessary to choose a formal hospital for specialized consultation, select the appropriate surgical method and instruments, and follow the doctor's instructions for correct postoperative functional rehabilitation exercises to achieve the best treatment effect.
