How does Blount’s disease affect my child’s body?
Blount’s disease affects how your child’s shin bone grows. This could cause their leg to bend inward, so their toes face in instead of straight and their leg forms a curve. If left untreated, this condition could get worse and the bend could prevent your child from walking or participating in physical activities where they use their legs. It can also cause nerve damage in your child’s legs and arthritis, which can be painful.
