Unfortunately, scoliosis can cause major problems in different parts of the body. Some curves can actually compress lungs and make it hard to breathe. Other times, such as in my case, scoliosis can cause hips to be uneven and legs to be bowed. After my spinal fusion, I had two more surgeries to correct my bowed legs, adding up to three major surgeries in a time frame of a year. I now have a plate in each thigh holding my thigh bone together.
In bow legged adults,certain bone infections such as bacterial infections that result in disfigured bones can be treated with antibiotics.
