Knock knee correction is a procedure to correct knock knees or Genu Valgum. It is a condition that is usually found in children who have their legs spread out when their knees touch each other. This is first found in young children who are 3 and 5 years old, yet it can get resolved as the child grows.
If the issue is not corrected, braces may be used to rectify the knees. The child may also opt to wear corrective shoes. If this condition isn’t settled in adolescence, it might proceed through adulthood and can create issues.
Adults can also suffer from knock-knees when they have arthritis or severe knee injury.
