What Causes Protrusion Of Knee Bone In A 3 Year Old?
Question: Hi, we have a question regarding a 3 (almost 4) year old daughter. Today we noticed her left knee (actually the bone beneath - inside leg) protrudes much more significantly then her right side leg. It is actually quite noticeable. She is healthy, active and is not experiencing pain - should we have this checked?
Brief Answer:
Needs orthopedic opinion is suddenly increasing
Detailed Answer:
Hi....if it's not affecting her daily activities.... I don't think you need to worry. But if you feel that it has noticeable recently or if the size is increasing drastically... Then you need see an orthopedic surgeon as soon as possible.
