Hello,
Surgery will be the last resort in this case because underlying collagen disease may complicate the surgery. As a first line management he can try adjusted boots while walking. Consult a good orthopedic and get evaluated, if surgery is required he may need osteotomy or like lengthening procedure.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wishing you all the best.
