Genu varum is a condition which gives the limb an appearance similar to that of an archer’s bow. It is characterized by a deformity wherein the lower leg is arched inward as compared to the thigh’s axis. When a person suffering from bowed legs stands with his/her feet together, they’ll notice the presence of a distinct space between the lower legs and knees. The condition is very common in toddlers and seems to resolve itself as the child ages.
