I have bow legs and really want to avoid surgery are there any non-surgical treatments that could help? Would braces or exercises make a difference? I'm worried about how this might affect me long-term.

Bow legs rarely improve after growth stops‚Äîbraces work only in children; physiotherapy may ease symptoms but surgery gives structural correction.

I'm currently being treated for a lateral femoral condyle fracture and wearing a long knee brace without surgery. Just got my MRI reports. Wondering if there are any specific exercises, suggestions, or special meds that could help speed up recovery? Really want to get back on my feet faster.
