In adults are usually caused by knee arthritis, or wearing away of the cartilage of the knee joint. If the cartilage is worn away unevenly (i.e. more from the inside of the knee), then the knees may becomes bowlegged.
Bow legs in children are an entirely different issue that is unrelated to arthritis. Bow legs in children are a normal part of the growth process.

KNEE PAIN
The knee is the largest joint in the body. The upper and lower bones of the knee are separated by two discs. The upper leg bone (femur) and the lower leg bones (tibia and fibula) are connected by ligaments, tendons, and muscles. The surface of the bones inside the knee joint is covered by articular cartilage, which absorbs shock and provides a smooth, gliding surface for joint movement.
Knee pain is a common complaint that affects people of all ages. Knee pain may be the result of an injury, such as a ruptured ligament or torn cartilage. Medical conditions- including arthritis, gout and infections- also can cause knee pain.
Many types of minor knee pain respond well to self-care measures. Physical therapy and knee braces also can help relieve knee pain.
