B
Bow legs are a common occurrence in children until approximately 1 year after the child begins walking. They tend to correct as the child grows. Bow legs are not a common finding in children older than 30 months. Bow legs may need intervention but do not generally indicate serious abnormalities. Bow legs do not generally indicate a neurological impairment.
