An operation!!!

This is how he sits; he can’t even cross his legs.

This little boy is five years old, he has been with us from 2 years of age. We noticed early on that he had bow legs and that he sits like he does above. We took him to an Orthopaedic surgeon and he advised us to wait two years as most of these cases correct themselves. However with this child his legs have not corrected and his hips have now rotated externally and so he finds it difficult to sit normally. The surgeon and ourselves have decided that he should undergo an operation called an Osteotomy which will correct this problem. We have decided that it should be done this year still as next year he will start grade 0 and as he is already behind we did not want him to miss school.
