that's what I'm thinking, BOW legged. I don't know of any reall disadvantages, it might cause more stress on the joints

Sit on a horse more comfortable if you are bow legged?

i think so. is being bow legged like reversable with surgery or something?

i notice i walk on the outer edge of my heels. like when i wear my shoes and or sandals that is the area that gets worn down the fastest. and when i used to dance in the clubs my shin area would get sore like a few days after. i believe thats because im bow legged.

i can come to anandtech and ask the most craziest questions and usually get answers, this place rocks my socks.

BOW-LEG (Genu Varum), a deformity characterized by separation of the knees when the ankles are in contact.

Pathologic bow leg deformities may produce serious problems. Factors suggestive of pathologic conditions include failure of genu varum to correct by age two years, increasing deformity, unilateral bowleg, and a marked lateral thrust with weight bearing.

Blount's Disease is probably the most common cause of pathologic bow leg deformity. This is a disturbance of the medial aspect of the proximal tibial growth plate, resulting in a structural genu varum. This condition is most prevalent in blacks. The infantile form is usually bilateral, progressive, and associated with significant internal tibial torsion. Most often it is seen in obese children of short stature who walked early. The juvenile form is usually unilateral, less deforming, and without internal tibial torsion. The diagnosis can be made by measuring the metaphyseal-diaphyseal angle on a standing x-ray (Fig. 3). If this angle exceeds 11 degrees, most often the varus deformity will be progressive and represents Blount's Disease.


The body weight always passes in the a straight line and in bow legged people the line of weight bearing shift more towards the centre causing even more loading of the inner joint and thereby excessive and accelerated wear of the joint and arthritis.
