Child Having Knock Knees. Should I Go To A Orthopaedician?

default
Posted on Sat, 23 Nov 2013
Question: My daughter is 4.6 years old and has a condition called "Knock Knees". I noticed it recently when I told her to stand in attention and read about it online and heard it is completely normal for children during this age group. What would you recommend I should do now that I have noticed and read that it is a condition that can be corrected. Do you recommend that I show this to a Orthopedics specialist?

Brief Answer: It is normal and correctable. Detailed Answer: Hi XXXXXXX Thanks for your query. You heard correctly that knock knee during this age group is completely normal and correctable. In some children it persist or increases due to hereditary or metabolic bone disease. I suggest you to get your daughter examined by an orthopaedician to rule out any metabolic bone disease and to alleviate your anxiety. Hope this will helps you. Let me know if you have any more concern. Take care.
