What can I expect if my child has Blount’s disease?
The prognosis for people diagnosed with Blount’s disease varies based on the age and severity of their diagnosis. Children younger than four years old who receive treatment have a good outlook. If Blount’s disease isn’t diagnosed and treated early, the bow could become worse, which puts your child at risk of severe joint damage and difficulty walking.
There is a chance that the bow could return after treatment in both children and adolescents, but the risk is low if the condition receives treatment early in the diagnosis.
