Outward bending of the front knees is described as bow-legged. This term describes a leg alignment where the knees point away from the body’s midline, giving the legs a bow-like shape. It corresponds to genu varum, the medical description of this outward angle at the knee. The other terms describe different alignments: knock-kneed means the knees bend inward toward the midline, buck-kneed is a less precise, casual way some use for outward bending, and straight-legged implies normal, no deformity.
