Comparing Leg Positions in Bow-Leg Surgery X-Rays
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares x-rays taken on one leg vs. both legs to see which view best measures bow-leggedness before and after corrective surgery. It may help people with genu varum (bow-legs) who are planning surgery understand their leg alignment better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have genu varum (bow-leggedness) for which surgery is recommended.
- You can stand on your own for x-rays.
- You have not had any leg surgery in the past year.
- Your bowing is not caused by Blount’s disease, rickets, or other bone diseases.
- You are willing to come for follow-up visits.

This study tests two treatments—blood-flow-restricting hip exercises and shockwave therapy—to see if they can improve leg alignment and walking patterns in adults with bow legs (genu varum). It may help people who want a non-surgical option for this condition.
This study compares two surgical methods for realigning a knock-kneed position (varus deformity) to relieve inner knee arthritis pain. The surgery cuts and repositions the shin bone to shift weight away from the damaged area, potentially delaying or avoiding knee replacement.
This trial tests whether special shoe inserts (wedged insoles) combined with ankle straps can reduce pain and improve knee alignment in people with mild bow legs and inner knee pain. It aims to help those who have not had knee surgery and can walk without help.
This trial compares two ways to straighten knock-knees or bowlegs in growing children: a plate or a screw. Both methods guide the bone to grow straighter over time.
This trial compares two surgical methods to correct knee alignment in children whose bones are still growing. It will help doctors know which approach works better and is safer.
This study focuses on people age 65+ with severe “varus” knee alignment osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear arthritis that affects how the knee lines up). It aims to use your knee measurements and data to better understand the condition and guide care.
