Advantages of Bowlegs in Humanoid Species

In an Earth-like planet filled with humanoid creatures (upright, two legs, two arms, head, etc.) the inhabitants have evolved to grow bowlegs.

From what I have read, bow-legs predispose you to arthritis (due to uneven stresses on bones: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genu_varum), as well as make you a bit shorter.

Note: This is genu varum - the bones themselves are straight, it is their alignment which is wrong. No bones are curved.
