A member asked:
Is knock knee surgery at the age of 16 safe? and though i have knock knees operation my ankles touch and i hv no issues on running..

See ankle specialist: Although most ortho will likely tell that that if you have no pain or functional limitation, you should wait. However if you are really concerned, consult an ortho with specialty on the foot/ankle area.
