Awwwe, that poor guy!
I've seen that condition before, it is indeed nutritional although I can't remember the name for it.  And once it progresses so far it's not able to be corrected except maybe thru surgery.

But he does look like a sweetie, I'm sure he will find a wonderful home just right for him.

Well after some intesive searching online I think I've found the condition that he has.  Called Carpal Subluxation Syndrome (CCS).  I guess it can be caused by several problems, with genetics and diet being the main culprits.

Here is a couple of articles I found.  There are other more technical ones but I chose these b/c they had pix:

Poor  baby

    I have a 5 year old english mastiff and he looked just like CODY, he had been passed around and beaten, starved and terribly mistreated when I adopted him, he wimpered and cryed  the firts few times I feed him, this is him today  a whole 200 lb. him, he is  happy, healtht, beautiful and the best dog in the world, he is my sweetheart or as I call him HONEY BOY as his eyes are the color of honey and I can see his gentleness and sweetness in them.
Good luck with this angel and may the Lord bless for helping him.

Aw, he is so cute! Bless you for saving him...and his poor little legs, hopefully something can be done (but if not) if he's able to live happily and pain-free like that in a loving home, he should be happy!

While stumbling around here looking for info on Hydroma (and being introduced to Dog Legg's thanks to this wonderful forum), I began looking a the Dog Legg's website.  After seeing the photo of your poor Roo, I wondered if this might help him at all:
