A member asked:
I have a brother who is 15 years old. he has mild knock knees, and he wants to know how to correct them without the use of surgery. what can he do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not much: If your brother still has some growth left, it is possible as he grows it will correct. Braces are cumbersome and don't have much of an affect. Surgery is the only real fix for it, but would traditionally not be done for a mild case. There is really nothing non- operative that is effective.
