Hi,

The only way to correct varus( bow legs) in the knee joint is by surgical correction. At this age nothing else would work, so do not waste time. Consult Orthopedic surgeon for the best possible surgery and outcome.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
