"What is My Experience with Osteotomy Surgery for O-Legs?"
O-leg osteotomy surgery mainly corrects O-legs through surgical methods. The entire surgery has a relatively high risk, and postoperative care should be taken after the surgery. The most important thing is to take good care measures so that the wound can recover quickly and achieve better correction in a short time. During the recovery period, one must rest more, avoid exercising, and pay attention to a light diet. Otherwise, poor wound recovery may lead to sequelae.
O-leg is also known as bowed legs. Generally, when both legs are straightened and both ankles are closed, the two knees can touch each other. However, if the two knees cannot touch each other, it is considered as O-leg. O-legs are mostly caused by congenital dysplasia or degenerative arthritis. Generally, when the distance between the two knees exceeds 10 cm, surgical correction is required.
After surgery, due to different individual constitutions, the symptoms of sequelae may vary. If proper care is not taken, there may be dull pain in the operated area. Even if the surgery is successful, high-intensity exercise and heavy loads should be avoided within two years. If the O-leg condition is severe, appropriate treatment plans should be taken in time for correction. If it is not corrected, it may lead to osteoarthritis, causing more severe harm.
