Are my legs really knock-kneed? how can i tell for sure?

See answer: Knock knees or genu valgum is a condition where the knees angle in and touch one another when the legs are straightened. Measurements can be done by an orthopedist to confirm or eliminate this.

Scanogram: An orthopedist can order a scanogram, which is a pelvis to foot x ray. It can detect angular deformities.
