A member asked:
Should i be concerned if my doctor said that i have laxity in my knees. what exactly is this and is this good or bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can cause damage: Can cause damage including arthritis and problems arising. Exercises to improve quadriceps strength is the first approach. If that doesn'e work either canes, bracing or surgery.
