Pls house someone needs your take on correcting a bow leg for their toddler. Any experienced parent here? Where is the best hospital for it in Lagos and what is involved? They don't know the possibility it straitening as she grows.
Thanks

If you're based in Lagos you can visit national orthopedic hospital igbobi. Surgery might not be needed, (s)he could be put on braces till the leg straighten out. This is a toddler we're talking about here, the leg could straighten as the child grows. Surgery has to be the very last resort.

I quite agree wt @mrsolution. I came soo close to havin my daughters leg straightened some years bak cos I couldn't stand d sight of her bow legs.bt the tot of d pain she'd hv to go thru far outweighed so I let her be.she's 4 now.and u can't Imagine how straight and lithe her legs her dat I can't stop admiring dem anytime I watch her play...
in essence,let d child be so long its nt caused by disease or defect. somtym wayback, either of d parents might hv had legs like dat.#jussaying#

God bless u all. Yes her daddy had it, so her groundmom said, even worse than hers. She said she was surprised at age 5 she suddenly realised that it wasn't there anymore, he's a huge guy. Moreover she's her daddy's copy. But I guess they r jst being curious because of people's talk and fear of it nt straightening like her dad's.
