Question

Bow-legs is also known as:

• A. Genu Varum
• B. Genu Valgum
• C. Pes Planus
• D. Knock-Knee

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

"Bow-legs," also medically termed Genu Varum, is a condition marked by widely separated knees and touching ankles, resulting in an outward leg curvature resembling a bow.

The available choices are:

• Genu Varum: The precise medical term for bow-legs.
• Genu Valgum: This describes "knock-knees," where knees are close and ankles are separated.
• Pes Planus: Also known as "flat feet," characterized by flattened foot arches.
• Knock-Knee: A term synonymous with Genu Valgum and the inverse of bow-legs.

Consequently, the accurate designation is Genu Varum.
