Bow Leg Correction (O-Legs)

Varus deformity of the lower extremities is the most common reason for orthopedic correction. Patients with varus deformity are approximately 15 to 20 times more likely to need surgery than patients with valgus deformity.

This deformity can be congenital, acquired during development, or a consequence of certain diseases such as rickets or arthrosis.

Aesthetic results are visible immediately after recovery - the legs gain a more aligned appearance and contour.

Patient presentations before, during, and after varus deformity correction testify to the success and precision of such interventions.

At Medical Time hospital, we use precise preoperative analyses and digital planning for every case.

Before every surgery, detailed weight-bearing X-rays, complete blood work, and orthopedic assessment are performed.

The surgery is performed under regional or general anesthesia and lasts from 1 to 2 hours.

The surgeon makes a cut in the tibia (osteotomy) and corrects the angle of the extremity axis. A varus deformity correction scheme using the Ilizarov frame is often applied.

The incision is minimal, and the procedure is performed precisely according to preoperative planning - digitally and X-ray guided.

Usually, 3 to 5 days of hospital treatment are needed, with a follow-up examination within two weeks.
