What are the symptoms of Blount’s disease?

The biggest symptom of Blount’s disease is a bend of the leg below the knee (bowing). Symptoms of Blount’s disease include:

• Bend in the leg that looks like the curve in the letter C.
• Bowing below the knee affects one leg or both legs.
• Toes and feet pointing inward instead of straight.

Bowing doesn’t cause pain in toddlers but adolescents may feel knee pain that gets worse with physical activity.

Severe symptoms of Blount’s disease include:

• Arthritis of the knee.
• Difficulty walking.
• Joint and nerve damage.
