The corrective methods of O-leg are: surgery, instruments, splint, leggings, exercise, correcting insoles, etc.

The operation is suitable for patients with very severe O-leg, or patients with osteoarthritis and joint pain. The advantages of surgery are passive treatment, immediate correction and no need for perseverance and persistence. The disadvantage is that the surgical techniques are different, mostly osteotomy, which is painful, risky and expensive.

1. External fixator plus inverted U-shaped osteotomy of tibial tubercle.

The advantages of this method mainly include: simple and safe osteotomy, fast bone healing and difficult delayed healing. The external fixator is convenient to master the angle of plastic correction, which can make the angle of bone healing accurate and convenient to adjust. Patients can move on the ground during the treatment, and the muscles of lower limbs will not atrophy.

2. Inverted U-shaped osteotomy of tibial tubercle and external fixation with tubular plaster after operation.

According to statistics, the complete correction rate of O-leg deformity can reach more than 96%.

The principle of non-surgical correction methods is basically the same, which is to relax the medial collateral ligament of the knee joint, restore the stable structure of the medial and lateral knee joint, and make the tibia rotate outward to achieve the purpose of correction.

The advantages of non-surgical correction method are low cost and low risk, while the disadvantages are active treatment, slow effect and long-term persistence.

The correction method of "O" leg is as follows:

(1) Stand up straight, put your feet together, and kneel down.

Stand up 20 to 30 times.

(2) Bend down, tuck your hands in a circular motion to the left and right, and do 20 times.

About 30 times

(3) Spread your feet slightly, bend over, and tuck your hands inward.

Practice, every time stop 10 seconds, do 5 ~ 10 times.

(4) Stand with two feet in parallel. First, do toe abduction and internal rotation with the heel as the axis.

Exercise; Then do heel abduction and internal rotation with tiptoe as the axis, 20 ~ 30 times each.

(5) Sit in a chair and try to hold the book with your calf for a while. If you tie your knees with rubber bands, the effect will be more obvious.

(6) Kneeling on your knees, your waist collapses, your feet move forward slowly, and your waist will gradually straighten. Do this 15 ~ 20 times.

How to correct O-leg

You can use the muscles in different parts of your legs by changing your stance a little, which is the biggest feature of squat. Knees and thighs are close together when squatting, which is very effective for correcting O-legs. It will be better to squat as deeply as possible.

Methods: Hands akimbo, upper body upright, legs apart 15-20cm, toes slightly outward. When inhaling, kneel down slowly with your knees together, squat as deep as possible and pause for a minute, feeling the muscles in your legs tense. When exhaling, slowly open your knees, stand up straight and repeat 10 times.

Life care:

1. Eight-step correction method. Take a step back, pay attention to the heel landing first and walk in a straight line. Take eight steps at a time.

2. Method of exercising the inner leg muscles: separate your feet shoulder width apart, bend your feet slightly, kneel down and stand up. Do 2-4 groups every day, 20 times. You don't need to squat completely.

I wish you the best of health!
