B This is an expected finding in toddlers.
C Further evaluation is needed if it persists beyond age 2 to 3 years, especially in
African-American children.
D Genu varum (bowlegged) is common in toddlers when they begin to walk. It
usually persists until all of their lower back and leg muscles are well developed.
