Wikipedia
bowleg
Genu varum (also called bow-leggedness, bandiness, bandy-leg, and tibia vara) is a varus deformity marked by (outward) bowing at the knee, which means that the lower leg is angled inward (medially) in relation to the thigh's axis, giving the limb overall the appearance of an archer's bow. Usually medial angulation of both lower limb bones (femur and tibia) is involved.

bowleg
Bowleg, also known as Genu Varum, is a physical deformity where the legs curve outwards in an exaggerated manner, creating a noticeable gap between the feet and ankles when standing straight. This condition can be congenital, due to abnormal bone development, or could develop due to certain diseases or conditions. In severe cases, it may require medical intervention for correction.
