Suggest Treatment For Knock Knee In A Child
Question: My daughter is 5.5 years old. She has knock knees with a gap of 4 inches between her feet. Should i be worried? Are there any exercises you'd recommend?
Brief Answer:
unlikely
Detailed Answer:
Hello
-
If your child has knockknee you should show her to a pediatric orthopedic specialist to determine the underlying cause and more so for serial followup.
Many kids improve by 7 years of age .
If not they may be in need of night braces or ortho shoes.
Exercises do not help.
