A member asked:

When should a child see a orthopedic over having knocked knees? anything i should know about being knocked knees?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Normal: Children can be initially bow legged that self corrects by age 2. Then they become knock kneed and outgrow that. If the knock knees are getting worse or there is a limp then see an orthopedist.
