Hello Parent,
Rickets is disease which is caused due vitamin D deficiency in babies.
This Scan Confirms the diagnosis.
But we need to find out cause of this deficiency which can be assessed only by doing complete examination and knowing detailed history of the child.
Next Steps
Kindly visit the Pediatrician.

Vitamin D deficiency is a common cause of this bowing and is treatable. Please get vitamin d level blood test done. Bone changes take time. So it will take 6 months minimum for the legs to straighten out.
