The Treatment of Knock Knee Without Surgery
Knock knees (genu valgum) is a condition in which the knees tilt inward while the ankles remain spaced apart.Knock knees are usually part of a child’s normal growth and development. Most young children have knock knees to some degree for a period of time, though in some children it is more visible.
In rare cases, knock knees could be a sign of an underlying bone disease, particularly when the condition appears for the first time when a child is 6 or older.
The Most Common Symptoms
- Knee inward angling
- Knee misalignment can be visible, especially when viewed from the front or rear.
- Unusual walking pattern
- Outward rotated feet
What causes knock knees?
- Genetic conditions.
- Obesity can contribute to knock knees.
- An injury to the growth area of the shinbone (tibia) or thighbone (femur) may result in just one inward-tilting knee.
