Dr. Thomas Deberardino answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

DFO fixes knock knee: Distal femoral Osteotomies (DFO) can realign/straighten knock knees. A thorough evaluation by an orthoapedic surgeon who regularly does realigning Osteotomies is warranted to see if this is a good option for you
