A member asked:
My knock knees are getting worse but the ortho physicians will not correct them because it's considered cosmetic surgery. what can fix my knock knees?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Knock knees: This depends on what it is due to- do you have this since birth? Asymmetry of supportive muscles? Arthritis? I would work with a physical therapist to see if this helps.
