I just met one of my cousins who is 20 years old but has a bow leg which was never treated. I want to know if this can still be treated.

Yes, a 20-year-old with bow legs (genu varum) can be treated, but treatment in adults is aimed at correcting the structural deformity, reducing pain, and preventing future arthritis. Because a 20-year-old’s bones are fully developed, they will not correct themselves or improve with bracing alone, making surgery the only way to permanently straighten the legs.
