Does bow leg surgery affect athleticism

[Kavkaz777]

just found out that i have bow legs and that I was supposed to be 6ft tall (5’10 rn) and I’m thinking of getting corrective surgery, but my biggest worry is that it will hinder my athletic abilities, can someone confirm if this is true or not ?

depends on your recovery, ask yourself this. Do you actually have something going on in your career as an athlete? if you do then dont do it, if you just do sports for fun then go for it

How old are you?

Yeah it could definitely affect athleticism.
I used to play at a high level and never got surgery at a young age because I could lose athleticism and the risk just wasn't worth it.
Plus the surgery recovery is absolutely brootal I just went to therapy instead

Is it because of the recovery time

Is the issue bowlegs, or is it height?
There are other ways to increase height, without risking eternal damnation.

not just the time but rather because the surgery will affect you a lot, and it would be harder for you to recover at that age too

Bowlegs are usually fixed at a very young age, sometimes it doesn't even require surgery. At 17 this might really suck for you...

Just reading about bowlegs, it could be terrible for your health in the future: knee pain, back pain, degenerative conditions in the hip joints as well as pain in the ankles.

This is a life changing decision, you should be talking to a doc or parents rather incelfourm. GL

Why is that?
