Knock knees is a condition where the knees angle inward and touch each other while standing straight. It commonly appears in childhood but may persist or worsen into adulthood if untreated.
You should see a specialist if the condition causes pain, uneven walking, limited mobility, or if the knee alignment does not correct naturally by age 7–8.
Treatments include guided growth surgery, physiotherapy, braces, orthotics, corrective osteotomy, and alignment correction based on age and severity.
Yes. Adults usually require corrective osteotomy or alignment surgery since natural bone growth is complete, making conservative treatments less effective.
Recovery typically takes 6–12 weeks depending on the procedure, individual healing, age, and adherence to physiotherapy.
