GENU VALGUM/ KNOCK KNEE
Knock knee is a condition in which the knees bend inward and touch or "knock" against one another, even when a person is standing with their ankles apart. This places excessive force on the outer side of the knee, which can cause pain and damage over time.
Knock knee is usually bilateral – affecting both legs – but in some cases, it may only affect one knee.
If left untreated, it can lead to knee pain and joint degeneration. Correction of the deformity will improve knee mechanics and walking capability, reduce pain and prevent a rapid progression of damage to the knee.
