Will Josiah Roloff Need The Same Surgery As Jackson?

Josiah Roloff was born to Zach and Tori Roloff in 2022, and his older siblings are Lilah and Jackson Roloff. Lilah had surgery but not related to her legs. Meanwhile, Jackson has had several surgeries on his bowed legs. Naturally, TLC fans wonder if Josiah will also need surgery. 

Josiah Roloff & Lilah Had Minor Surgery

In 2024, Lilah went for a tonsillectomy, and shortly after that, her little brother did as well. It was recommended by doctors because children with achondroplasia tend to have sleep apnea issues. All three of Tori’s children have the same dwarfism as their dad, Zach.

Josiah Roloff seems remarkably similar to Jackon in looks and attitude. Like his older brother, he took to playing soccer at a very young age. Plus, he’s as cute as a button. But is their similarity a problem for the younger kid of Tori Roloff? The littlest Little People, Big World alum seems to be getting the same bowed legs as Jackson. 

Josiah Roloff Starts to Show Bowing Of The Legs

One of the reasons why Tori claimed the family left TLC was because Jackson Roloff didn’t want his second leg surgery filmed. He had several surgeries and the most recent one was because a metal screw in his leg had broken. Often, Little People, Big World fans claim the surgery made no difference. 

Josiah Roloff doesn’t walk on the side of his feet as badly as Jackson does, but TLC fans who follow Tori Roloff have noticed that his legs seem to be bowing just below the knee. That was evident again in the Thanksgiving photo that the TLC star shared on Instagram this year. 

Surgery For The Little Fellow?

The latest photo of the kids didn’t show massive bowing for Josiah, but then, Jackson didn’t show that much when he was two years old, either. His first surgery happened in 2021 as he neared the age of four. In time, might Josiah also need to go under the knife?

In her caption this Thanksgiving, Tori Roloff didn’t mention Jackson or Josiah Roloff needing surgery. Instead, she wrote:

Thankful for so much this year!! But these people especially! Happy Thanksgiving to you all!! 

Plenty of people went into the comments section to talk about the cute kids. And, some of them said that they wish the family would return to Little People, Big World. Given the fact that Jackson Roloff wouldn’t film for TLC with his second surgery and the possibility of surgery for Josiah, it’s not likely that fans will see them back on TLC again. 

What are your thoughts on Josiah Roloff? Do you think that his legs are starting to bow the same as his big brother Jackson Roloff’s did? Do you hope he won’t need the same surgery?
