How to treat knock knees for a teenager?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Knock knees: Knock kneees usually correct by themselves, but since you are a teen ager i would suggest you see an orthopedic specialist. He may want to cast you.

See an orthopaedist: Specifically a pediatric orthopaedist. If the child's growth plates are still open, a small surgery called guided growth can help correct the patient during growth. If they are no longer growing, the only option to "fix" the problem is an osteotomy (cutting of the bones).
