Wikipedia
Genu varum
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.

genu varum
Genu varum is a physical deformity marked by bowing of the leg in relation to the thigh, causing the appearance of an outward curvature of both femur and tibia, with a narrowing of the knee angle (i.e., the knees are not touching while the feet are). It is often referred to as "bow-leggedness." Genu varum can occur due to various conditions such as rickets, Blount's disease, obesity, or physiological development in children.
U.S. National Library of Medicine
Genu Varum
An outward slant of the thigh in which the knees are wide apart and the ankles close together. Genu varum can develop due to skeletal and joint dysplasia (e.g., OSTEOARTHRITIS; Blount's disease); and malnutrition (e.g., RICKETS; FLUORIDE POISONING).
