If you have osteomalacia – the adult form of rickets that causes soft bones – treatment with supplements will usually cure the condition. However, it may be several months before any bone pain and muscle weakness is relieved. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

Knock knees are fairly common in healthy children under the ages of 6 or 7, and are just a normal part of growth and development. The legs will usually gradually straighten as the child grows, although mild knock knees can last into adulthood.

Treatment for mild cases of knock knee in children or adolescents may include braces to help bones grow in the correct position. If a gradual correction does not occur, surgery may be recommended. In the growing child, guided-growth minimal-incision surgery may be used to encourage the leg to gradually grow straight.

Knock knees can be surgically corrected. The surgical technique used may vary depending on age. Knock knees can affect the ankles and knees as well as the hips. This is a form of misalignment and it can cause increasing pressure and pain in the front of the knee because the knee cap is off center.

In almost all cases of genu valgum, the condition will resolve itself before a child reaches adolescence. For older children and adults, the most likely form of therapy involves stretches and exercises to realign the knees and relieve pain. Some people might find relief with orthotics or braces.

Knock knees don't usually cause any other problems, although a few severe cases may cause knee pain, a limp or difficulty walking. Knock knees that don't improve on their own can also place your knees under extra pressure, which may increase your risk of developing arthritis.

There are many causes for genu valgum (knock knees). Most cases are developmental, where people are born with the deformity and it becomes more noticeable with time. An injury to the growth plate in a child can also lead to knock knees. Knock knees can be surgically corrected.
