  1. Common Childhood Orthopedic Conditions

  2. Orthopedic Conditions Young children can suffer from a range of orthopedic conditions that can affect how they walk, stand, and even grow. Flat foot: When the foot arch does not develop properly, the child may suffer from a flat foot. Signs of flat feet in children are weak ankles, irregular walk, etc. Toe walking: while toddlers walk on their toes initially, when they are still learning to walk, the habit goes away once they reach three. Persistent toe walking after age three could signify muscle weakness, cerebral palsy, autism, or other related issues.

  3. Bowlegs: when a child's legs are bent outwards, they are known as bowlegs. While this is common in infants and goes away on its own, the problem may sometimes indicate a larger issue such as Blount disease, rickets, and the like. Knock knees: similar to bow legs, knock knees may go away as the child ages. However, severe knock knees sometimes do necessitate treatment. The best treatment for this problem is surgery. To understand the developmental process, it is best to get in touch with a professional and get the right advice.
