Bandy-leg is a common condition that causes the knees to turn inward, leading to an awkward gait. It is also known as bow-legged, and its scientific name is genu varum. However, there are other terms used to describe this condition, like knock-kneed, in which the knees turn outward, and genu valgum, which is a condition where the knees touch but feet do not. Other synonyms for bandy-leg include crooked legs, curved legs, and bent legs. In some cultures, bandy-leg is viewed as a sign of beauty or strength, while in others, it is considered a deformity that requires medical attention.
