Genu valgum, commonly called "knock-knee" is a condition in which the knees angle in and touch each other when the legs are straightened. Individuals with severe valgus deformities are typically unable to touch their feet together while simultaneously straightening the legs. When genu valgum is severe, or when exercise isn't enough to relieve pain and stabilize your knee, your doctor may recommend surgery. For younger people, a small metal plate inserted in their knee can help direct future bone growth. This minor procedure is called guided growth surgery. If knock knees are caused by an underlying condition, treatment for this may be necessary. For example, rickets can be treated with vitamin d and calcium supplements. Adults with arthritis may benefit from wearing leg braces or special insoles to reduce the strain on their knees.
