Knock Knees Correction in Adults

Knock knee correction

Knock knees is a condition that is commonly found in young children where the knees touch each other when standing straight and the lower legs go out. This is often first found in children between the ages of 3 and 5 and usually is able to fix itself by the time the child reaches seven years old. If the problem does not rectify itself, the doctors may consider using braces to straighten the knees or have the child wear corrective shoes. If this condition is not fixed in childhood, it may continue through to adulthood and begin to cause a problem for the adult affected.

Adults can also become knock kneed due to arthritis or a severe injury to the knee.

The best way to correct knock knees in adults is to strengthen the knee by doing a series of exercises. Various types of exercises can be done to strengthen the knees including seated quadriceps contraction, leg strengthening exercises and hamstring curls. Be sure to select exercises that work to strengthen the muscles in your knee and not ones that put a lot of stress on the knee like running or mountain climbing because these types of exercises can actually damage the knee instead. Being overweight can also cause knock knees and because of this fact a good way to treat knock knees is to bring your weight down to a normal level. Excess weight can add a lot of stress to your knee only making the knock knee condition worse.

If you have tried these various methods and have had no results then surgery may be the right answer for you. Corrective surgery works best for children who are between the ages of ten and eleven but may work for adults as well. Usually for adults instead of corrective surgery being done, most doctors will recommend an entire knee replacement as the best surgery to correct knock knees. As with all surgeries knee replacement has its own set of dangers and risks that you should consider before having the surgery done.

If the knock knee condition persists or worsens during adulthood, a complete examination by a doctor should be done. The doctor will be able to assess your situation and give their expert opinion of what the best options to correct knock knees in adults are. Due to the risk involved, all alternative methods should be tried before even considering having a knock knee correction surgery done.

    Hello, am 23 years old and i have knock knees in both knees. When i try and exercise a lot of the time my right knee hurts to the point where i can’t bend my knee for weeks without it causing me to much pain therefore, i struggle to go up and down the stairs and to exercise e.t.c. Also i am little insecure of the way my knees look however, i think at least i can walk! I have only recently learnt that surgery is option however; i am scared to consider surgery as option but at the same time am scared to exercise! I read it could take a long time to recover which again scares me as I have a 2 year old daughter! Could someone please give me some advice regarding surgery options, risks, and recovery time? Thank you. x

      Hi, Victoria

      My name is Soo and I am currently working as a physiotherapist in Australia. I was wondering exactly what exercises you have been doing and how much/often you do them. Also, have you tried braces or casts before? Surgery can certainly be an option, but being as young as you are, I wouldn’t want to recommend a surgical approach. Cheers.

      Soo

          I now have knock knees at 56 years old that my chiroprator is going to try to correct with orthotics. My daughter also had knock knee along with rotated hips and by the time she was 18 she had to have surgery to correct, we doctored for years and did it all, nothing seemed to help. Two doctors worked together on her legs and had to break her legs and unrotate her hips and line up her knee caps and took out a v shape from her fumer bone. Excuse my spelling. She is now 24 doing very well and she went into culinary and thanks to the surgery she is able to stand. We had a children’s doctor and an adult doctor that worked together. I am thankful that we found these wonderful doctors in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

            Hello Cindy,
            I am 50 years old and have suffered from knock-knees my whole life. Can you tell me how your orthotics are working and who your chiropractor is?
            Thank you so much,

      • Brenda Cook April 25, 2018, 10:14 pm

        I have a question. I am 59 and knock knees on both legs. I have arthritis which is drawing the knees in more, and I hurt constantly when walking, laying in bed, or exercising. It is causing my ankles and feet to overcompensate and are getting increasingly painful. My hip joints also hurt. Is surgery an option in a healthy 59 year old? I honestly feel as bad as I would dread the surgery, it might improve several painful areas and increase my mobility as I age. Thanks.

      • Macey June 25, 2018, 4:29 am

    • Rebecca March 17, 2018, 4:39 am

      I had the surgery on both legs when I was 13 after having several surgerys on my right knee. I am knock kneed and my pain us only worse and I am 24 now. I could not walk for 3 months after and now I have extreme knee pain and my bone is sticking out to the right of my right knee. I know not everyone has had experience with it. But I would not recommend it. The pain is unbearable sometime. Like right now after a 6 hour shift of waitressing I can not move my leg and it hurts to were I can’t sleep. I would look into other options.

    • Susan Caskey May 23, 2019, 4:05 am

      Soo, I,m 71 years young. Noticed a few months ago I’ve become knock kneed and my R more leg from the knee is growing outword. Is there anything besides surgery I can do?

  • April July 7, 2011, 3:55 am

    Hi, I am 17 years old and i have had knocked knees all my life. My knees do not hurt, and i can exercise fine, but should i still be worried about correcting them?

    • nikki hinds August 8, 2014, 5:10 pm

      Hi April,
      My advice to you ,depending on the severity of your knock knees, is definateley YES get them corrected. I have knock knees all my life and like you as a teen was always very active,alot of excercising and running, im now 46 and the pain and damage has caught up with me,infact it first showed at 30 with torn cartilage. Im currently awaiting a double osteotomy which is scary and i so wish i was told years ago what i would be facing.

  • shay July 15, 2011, 6:58 am

    Hi, im 24 yrs old and i have knock knees i was actually browsing around to see what good surgeons we have here in texas that performs that type of surgery…i was hoping that some one would inform me on the type of exercises i should do before considering the surgery although i am really scared of the surgery and the risks..i hate my knock knees and would do anything to fix them..any suggestions?

    • Cindy Reisig March 19, 2014, 4:59 am

      Shay,

      Good luck to finding the right surgeron, we got blew off from several surgerons. If this isn’t corrected you could end up with knee and hip replacements at least that is what they told my daughter. I’m from Michigan and finally found the answers in our fourth location in Grand Rapids, Michigan which is what they call the miracle mile. The Doctors with Dr Galladay and Dr Cassidy if you want to contact them to get some suggestions in Texas

      • shy May 11, 2015, 11:47 pm

        I’m knock kneed and from Michigan as well… just wondering did the surgery fix the APPEARANCE of your daughters legs? Does she still look knock kneed?

        • Geraldine Nathaniel April 3, 2016, 9:10 pm

      • Clarice September 19, 2017, 10:00 pm

        Hi
        I had surgery back in 2007 in Ukraine to correct my bowed legs, it was the worst thing I ever did, it has left me knock kneed & would rather have my old legs back…& I hated them with a passion. I live in the U.K. & over here they were reluctant to do surgery on me at all. Not everyone has the same outcome… don’t be fooled by greedy surgeons. x

  • Jane McColl July 31, 2011, 4:29 pm

    Hi, my name is Jane, I am 19 and have knocked knees. My dad and auntie also have knocked knees and had surgery but that hasn’t helped a lot. I’m also slightly overweight but I don’t know what exercises to do to help me loose weight because I don’t want to put too much strain on my knees. My knees, ankles and hip bones also hurt from time to time too. I’ve seen a lot of doctors and they all advise just to take calcium and vitamin D. I don’t want to have surgery unless its a necessity. Is there any way to make the pain stop and strengthening the knees?

    i hate having this black face, bad body, and knock knees

    HELP ME

    • Cheryl March 18, 2012, 11:07 am

      Dont be ashamed of what you cant control, especially the color of your skin. I always hated my white face, bad body and knock knees. Turns out I found a great guy who wanted to marry me, and in his eyes Im beautiful. Treat yourself as good you treat other people..you are worthy of it. If you surround yourself with shallow people, sometimes we become shalliw. Excercise and eat right for health, and you will fibd energy to excercise..tge rest will fall into place. God Bless…

        Wonderful answer Cheryl@ Lakenya I’m sure your black face is beautiful! I have knock knees, looking for braces or types of exercises to get them fixed without surgery. I’m not sure if I need a personal trainer. Hoping someone will next this message. Thank you 🙏🏽

    • Debra March 2, 2015, 2:51 am

      Lakenya , you should stop looking at these things as ugly, as a white woman, I find, I desire a healthy glow and a tan face. Yet, the price is high, the sun causes skin cancer. Sun spots, wrinkles, and more. Even down to picking out a color when having my nails done. There is many colors that look awful on white skin, black skin has so many positive benifits, a very very good on, cellulite!!!! You rarely see a black woman with cellulite. It shows worse on white woman. Girl love your curves! Find the good in yourself, not the bad. I am a large white woman with knocked knees. I just started going to the y. I am the only one in the body pumping classes with these knees. I look like a duck when I try to do a squat. I don’t care! Because there is not one person with a perfect body. I was worried people would stare, but they don’t. They are so supportive. The point is, I’m not going to be the victim. I was very unhappy with my legs my entire 58 years of life, then I saw a woman with no legs, be grateful for what you have,regardless to color, size , shape. Look at all those people with severe deformation. Burns. Missing parts. Your heart is what matters. That your humble and kind. Work on your self worth by taking control of your life. I wish you the best. Debra

        • Melinda December 12, 2015, 1:47 am

          Hi Amitt, I’m interested in your treatment and would like to try it. I’m not sure if understand. So apply cod liver oil to the knees. What’s the purpose of the oil? Can it be any oil?

          • Monique February 6, 2016, 2:11 pm

            Hi. I am not a Dr just a person who likes to help. So, I believe the cod liver oil may help to strengthen the bone since the binding will put some pressure on your knee…as any corrective brace would. In addition, because you’re making this such a desperate situation you’re making yourself vulnerable and not allowing yourself to see the obvious. The timeframe may be about 6 weeks, give or take a week. The exercise mentioned is the frugal way to straighten your knees, otherwise, see a Dr or get a leg brace.

        • Khushi sagar May 12, 2016, 8:40 pm

Can i still get his knees corrected? What about mine. Pls help! Am 35.

  • ivy November 6, 2011, 2:55 pm

    Hi, my name is Ivy, and just like all of you, I hated my knock knees until the Lord led me to Dr. Rozbruch in New York City. I had my surgery in 2008 and it been the best thing for me. I never wore jeans from the time I was 12 to 32. Today, I am happy and not self conscious when I walk. Please take heart and try to love yourself for the person you are inside. If you really want to change the way your knees look please call Dr. Rozbruch in NYC at 212 606 1415. Tell him Ivy sent you.
    Good Luck and God Bless!

      Thanks to my Lord Jesus that I found this imformation my knock knees has bothered me for almost all my life at the point that many times I can not do the things that I want. I have consider a surgery, but for some reason I have not found the doctor that wants to do my surgery. I am so desperate because every time that I go somewhere there are always people that make fun of me. Thank you for your information God bless you

    • Nye October 9, 2014, 1:39 pm

      Ivy,

      Did you insurance assist you in paying for the Surgery . How are your legs today? Are you having any issues and is the pain manageable. I am really interested in seeking out Dr. Rozbruch . I have save up quite a lot of money for this and hope with insurance I can have this done. I am experiencing pain in my knees when I walk and , my ankles hurt daily. I find myself just wanting to be at home but I have to work. I am a young women and my quality of life is non existent. I don’t date , go out only to work and trying to exercise forget it . My knees will be out of commission for days.

  • lindy November 8, 2011, 8:33 am

    I’m a 14 year old (turning 15 in March) male, and I have knock knees and it really looks weird to me. My ankles and knees touch at the same time so its just a slight case. I want my ankles to touch and not my knees. Is there any way to fix this without surgery?! Thanks!

    • Fariha January 12, 2015, 8:46 pm

      Go for a blood test to see if you have a vitamin d deficiency, if so theyl give you supplements and the problem should correct itself. You’re a teenager so you have time, dont worry.
      While i was a teenager my legs went from being knock kneed to going straight when I went on holiday to a hot country- the country I live in doesnt get much sun and I was a bit of a hermit so I wasnt getting enough vitamin d

  • jesica January 20, 2012, 9:42 am

    * Simply stand on a wooden curve plank and do sit ups 5-7 a day
    * Try to ride a horse daily. But if no horse is avaible then try to ride the cycle and try to move it by opening your knees in ” V” Shape.
    * When you are sleeping then try to place a pillow between your legs.
    these exercises will help you to get rid of knock knees…..gud luck !!!

    • LoveLife January 24, 2012, 5:03 am

      Riding a horse, riding a bike, and the pillow theory just do not work. Been there done that, rode horses every weekend for ~5 years when I was a kid. I still have horrible knock knee and it makes me so self conscious because I hate jeans. I don’t understand how being overweight has much to do with it because I’m not and have never been anywhere near overweight. I’m almost 20 years old and live a healthy, active life. I would just love to be comfortable with my legs in shorts! I’d like to know more about these braces being discussed please.

  • Sharde February 10, 2012, 4:45 am

    Hello my beautiful Knock Knee Family!! I am 26 and consider myself slightly knock knee. Although I dont like it much, I have learned to accept it. I wear skinny jeans, knee boots, skirts and shorts and recieve compliments all the time. I would suggest a straight, boot, or flare cut jean, and skirts that hit at knee or below. Its all about being confident!! From time to time i become a little discouraged like now and decided to do some research. Knee excercises are very good to help strengthen the knee like squats, knee bends etc. I have also been told by my dad to point my toes inward which helps the appearance. Hope this helps someone and remember, take what God gave you and WORK it!!!

    • Jennifer May 17, 2013, 9:07 pm

      Very well put Sharde!!

    • Monique February 6, 2016, 2:24 pm

      Yes, dad is right and it’s trickled down to you too. I love to walk creatively to reduce attention to my knees, where shirts, capris and mini’s_ALWAYS get attention (it’s how you wear your clothes to accentuate your look as well as having a healthy confidence). The exercise with bending your foot upwards is right, think of a soccer player in the kicking motion. Also, have you ever seen a knock knees soccer player, in fact they are more bow than straight.

  • Kichy February 28, 2012, 6:45 pm

    Is there any treatment to bring it back to normal position.
    I have never suffered any accident or any other medical problem.

  • Rosemary M Pillai March 8, 2012, 9:36 am

    Hi, my name is rosemary. I have knocked knees from the time I was 12 years old. I have never wanted to do any surgery and I dont even mind the way I look because of it. I only have knee pain quite often and I would like to know if there is any natural home remedy that I can adopt to control my knee pain. I am now 37 and would like to just keep my knee in condition and not let it go down further. Please help

  • Matt March 8, 2012, 4:38 pm

    I am a therapist here in the states and one thing you need to look at is just not the knee but week hip abductors . Knees may test out with good strength but weak hips and a weak core can lead to genuine valgum. Adding hip abduction exercises may help.

    • Rosemary M Pillai May 3, 2012, 9:54 am

      Please can you tell me is it that as I grow with age I will not be able to walk. What is it that I can do ? Like I said earlier i don’t mind the way I look but all that I want is to keep my knees strong and what tests should I do in order to know what exactly needs to be done. Thanks

  • Courtney March 13, 2012, 4:59 pm

    Im Courtney, im 18 and I’ve had knock knees all my life. Im in a lot of pain and my knees constantly pop and grind I wear braces a lot to try and keep my knees from bending. It keeps me up a lot at night. The thing is I’m afraid of surgery because I’m a dancer. I don’t know what I would do without dancing, an I’m afraid of losing my mobility and I’m not sure what to do, any suggestions?

    • Becca weatherbee October 3, 2013, 5:24 pm

      My name is becca and I’m 16 years old .. I have noticed my knocked knees since I was 10 and have multiple therapy sessions, braces and even casts put on me for 4-6 weeks a time , nothing has helped and I’m a cheerleader so I’m very active . It hurts my hips ankles and knees a lot . Anyone have any good suggestions for me ?

      • Monique February 6, 2016, 2:26 pm

        It may not be your knee but stem from the origin, your hip. See an orthopedic please.

  • Ken March 19, 2012, 10:31 am

    I experienced this knock knee thingy at the age of 12.My right knee goes in much more than the left does. I guess left is fine with me….U wouldn’t really notice when i wear jeans or shorts..but jeans is quite the best for me nw…I’m doing thigh build up and it helps a lot. I’m in Africa and will be coming to the US of A pretty soon. I’d like to know if there are braces or other devices out to help out.
    I’d appreciate any ideas or info. from any 1. U can send me an email @ alangottschalk@yahoo.com

    Regards,
    Ken

    • Melinda December 12, 2015, 1:51 am

      Hi Ken did u ever get an answer from anyone about the braces. I’m also looking. Thanks

      • Monique February 6, 2016, 2:28 pm

        Go to a medical supply store, Google it or consult with an orthopedic. In fact, a sports store like Modells could suffice.

    My name is Zandi and I’m 16. I have awful knock kneee in both of my knees. I’ve had 4 corrective surgeries and I’ve only had a little improvement. I’be been doing therapy off-and-on since I was 12 years old. I plan on joining the military in 2-3 years.. is there anything I can do to help my knees?
    Please respond.. I’m running out of options </3

  • KnockKnee July 21, 2012, 11:44 am

    I had really bad knock knees, when my knees were together my ankles were 20cms apart. I had corrective surgery at age 12 where my surgeon used medical staples to staple the growth plate on the inside of my knees to stop it from growing, allowing the growth plate on the outer to catch up. All the staples were removed in 2 separate surgeries a few years later. My knees are nearly perfectly straight, I do believe one has over corrected slightly which does cause me pain if I’m doing prolonged walking and also on rainy and cold days they ache. I’m not saying surgery is the only way to go but there are a lot of old wives tales/beliefs that “suppose” to help that actually won’t. If I didn’t have corrective surgery before I stopped growing I would of had to have 2 full knee reconstructions. If you only have a slight misallignment and it’s not causing you pain I personally wouldn’t worry about it. The surgery is very very painful and like with all surgeries nothing is the same again. Remember, knock knees is a deformity. There is no quick fix.

  • 3liza July 22, 2012, 3:30 pm

    Hello, I’m 28 years old and had always thought there was something wrong with my legs. Nobody ever pointed out until recently at a aerobics class I realizad I couldn’t do some exercises. I decided to research online and came across all kinds of things, from shoes you’re supposed to wear (for overpronation) to what kind of muscles you’re supposed to strenghten. I thought this specific website wa helpful.http://www.coreconcepts.com.sg/mcr/knock-knees-%E2%80%93-can-i-reverse-it-part-1/ copy and paste:) and don’t give up on trying to fix it(I know I won’t) . Like they say somethig’s gotta give, right. I’m thinking about taking photos and making a journal of progress. Wish me luck and luck to all of you 2. Cheers!

  • Audra August 31, 2012, 5:24 pm

    Hey,
    This site is sooo funny…I am knocked kneed and I love wearking short dresses, shorts, and skirts. I also work as a model and I also did a leg campaign. Important thing is to not to sweat it. I would recommend trainning your legs..to get nice shapely legs and be sure to build the calves to give the leg a more balanced condition.Also cross your legs when you walk and stand or pose in a manner to minimize the look. Hope this helps….

    • Jennifer May 17, 2013, 9:11 pm

      thank you Audra, I agree!

    • Paola October 12, 2015, 3:20 am

    • Monique February 6, 2016, 2:37 pm

      Exactly! I’m not a model but I might as well be. I love life! Creativity is so pretentious lol

  • sam September 19, 2012, 12:25 am

    Hey! I was suffering from this i dont know at what age my legs began to deform but no one picked up on it . One day i dislocated my knee cap which is when i realised my legs were not normal. When i was 18 i had corrective surgery. My surgeon broke both my legs from just above the knee an realigned the whole bone. My legs look and feel better and even though there is some pain sometimes and im left with scars i dont regret it. Best think to do is see your doctr.

    • Leo September 30, 2012, 7:00 pm

      thanks and good luck!

  • Leo September 30, 2012, 6:55 pm

    Hi my name is Leo, I have knock knees as well, come to find out I have an arthritic knee from when I fell a few months back but that hasn’t stopped me yet, I am currently using a brace to take some of the strain off and I still exercise, I do squats, seated hamstring pulls, calve raises, seated calve raises, swim, etc…. I found out that I need to straighten my femur bone before I get work done on my knee but I gotta tell ya, it sounds pretty scary but I still have not let something like knock knees, bad back, bad knees stop me, push through the pain and don’t let it control you, I know it may sound cheesy but if I let this pain have its way then I would never do anything and just sit around all day. I believe that this body of ours is a vessel that we control, not the other way around.

    • dee February 13, 2014, 9:46 am

      good message! I believe mind over matter. however as a woman it’s tough having knocked knees. hard to wear dresses etc. really takes a toll on a woman.

  • Anna October 14, 2012, 6:27 am

    Iam 23 yr old, hvg knock knee problem since my childhood. I underwent knee surgey using staples at age of 11 and removed them after couple of years. It was not fully corrected coz my growth period stopped. Since then I didn’t have any problem with walking, running. But after 10 years I started to have knee pain in left leg. The pain was mild in the beginning, with following days the pain become so severe I wasn’t able to walk or stand for more than 5 mins. That when I went to the doctor (again) , he told me to undergo surgery to realign my knee. I underwent surgery this year, after 8 months, now iam able to walk long distance without pain. Knock knee is corrective only to certain extent in adults.

  • zach November 3, 2012, 10:54 pm

    well check out if your feet are arched or not, collapsed ankle can casue issues, i have knots all up in my hip muscles that cause me to use incorectly. try jumping, if u feel your knees giving in towards the middle, then you know the side muscles are weak, years of improper muscle usage will cause bones to bend the wrong way. people that know this stuff dont want to post for free cause they wont make money. i have had back problems from this my whole life. still figuring it out, but recently i tried feeling my hip muscles every step i take i think about it. and i notice when im not paying attention my legs give in toward the middle. feel much better from just a few weeks of this. gain controll mentally of your muscles, and exersize them with proper form, improper form will make issue worse. hell, is the CAUSE of the issue most of the time! all this can b taught to us as young kids in school, but theres no money to b made otherwise! anyone else know why this obvious information took me years to find? or why all these people are looking for answers? please let me know!

  • Emmanuel Victor Bassey December 2, 2012, 2:13 pm

    Hi, I’m Emmanuel Victor from Nigeria, I’m 18yrs old, I have knock knees, its awfully bad my friends sometimes mock me and I hate it, I can’t even were shorts cause it will fully reveal my legs, I wish to have straight and beautiful legs just like my friends, what kind of exercise should I do inorder to correct my legs…. Pls reply

    • Eva September 5, 2016, 3:18 pm

      The Sun Salutation yoga positions helped me correct my knock knees once. We practiced these 12 moves for 45 minutes every other day for about 16 weeks. My knees are pretty bad so they only improved slightly, but it improved the pain a lot, and I could visually see the difference. I could walk MUCH easier, and I think it made me taller too.

      Please look up this yoga series, Sun Salutation, and learn exactly how to do them correctly. The backwards lunge seems to strengthen the things we need strengthened, and stretch the things we need stretched. Be diligent. It took commitment and discipline to slowly stretch and strengthen. I need to get back to them. My hamstrings get so tight, it makes it hard at first. Good luck everybody.

    Hi. I have knock knee problem. Can you recommend me best physical exercise?

  • Ana July 2, 2013, 4:24 pm

    Hello, I’m a 32 year old female and have had knocked knees all my life. I’m rather slim and actually quite athletic, plus I’m quite tall. People often compliment me on my legs on how nice they are, lol. I think my knocked knees draw the attention but my fit long legs captivate them so that my imperfect legs are completely overlooked. That’s the only way it makes sense to me. As a young girl and teenager I hated my legs, but I gained confidence over the years and I pushed this imperfection to the side. As well as so many other physical features I disliked about myself. Knocked knees was my main deterrent from trying to go into modeling. With the type of self esteem I had I feel it was a blessing in disguise. People think I’m attractive, I do my part to stay fit, control my frizz and what not, but I really think the beauty they see is confidence and inner peace. It’s taken me many years to accept myself and be grateful for my complete being. Stay fit and do what you can to look good but don’t let it be the center focus of your being. You’ll miss out on the true beauties of life, the bond and friendships with others. As to pain, yes, i’ve dealt with pain on my knees since 19. I like to run so that doesn’t help. Swimming might be a better option for exercise. I have a lot of difficulty with the breast stroke because of the frog kick, I often wonder if my knocked knees are the culprit but I haven’t found enough information on this. Freestyle though I have no issues, it feels really good when my knees are achy. Only issue with swimming for those of you trying to shed some pounds it tends to really make one hungry. So you have to be careful not to overeat and what you do eat make sure it’s nourishing. Strengthening the legs overall with weight training is what therapists recommend. I do a bit of this and I do have my glucosamine chondroitin regime of 2 pills a day that has really helped me with my knee pains. I also, which is typical for those with knocked knees, have issues with coordination and balance, flat feet and ankle issues. I just deal with it and don’t make too much of a big deal about it.

  • jessica July 3, 2013, 12:39 pm

    pls is there any knock knee specialist in ghana?

  • Bonnie July 3, 2013, 5:50 pm

    Hi ,
    Interesting to find so many people with this problem.I am 68 ,have been knocked kneeded for all of my life and also have hyper-extended knees as well.My advice to anyone who can , try your best to correct this problem as soon as possible . my knees issues led me to have a torn meniscus in my right knee , which was successfully operated on two years ago. I also suffer because my legs seem to be collapsing more and more and now my arches are falling and I have pretty bad bunion on my right foot.Pilates does help .I go 3x’s a week and try to keep as active as possible.Many years ago , a foot doctor recommended that I fix all my foot and leg problems by either getting knee replacements or breaking both legs qnd resetting them.Not very appealing choices .I do love to walk but find it difficult unless I wear some damn ugly shoes with big orthodics .I would love to find some surgery that is not so extreme to correct this problem. today I look like a X when standing still .For me Pilates is still the best bet.

  • sandra July 27, 2013, 9:30 am

    I’m really interested in this whole “place your course books in between your knees”. Been doing this for 3days now. I feel different. I wanna know if this is going to remain permanent or stoppage of this would cause the knees to return over time. Thanks. P.s are there any movements get to do when the books are inbetween the knees?

  • Eva July 30, 2013, 8:24 am

    Omg! I felt like I was the only one with this problem! I dislike the fact about being knock kneed because people can be so cruel and inconsiderate. They stare or make fun. I am conscious about my legs and wish they were straight….but then I stop myself and think…I am blessed to even have legs and for them to function properly. That helps me cope with it and also just blowing people off with their rude comments. Although, I am fairly interested in the exercises to help strengthen my knees and muscles as well. So if anyone could kindly tell me what exercises would be good… I appreciate it very much.
    Thankyou beforhand. God bless you all!!!!

  • MVP Trinity August 19, 2013, 7:40 pm

    Hi everyone, I took time to read every comment here. I have the solution to the this knock knee thingy but it is hell expensive and (the cost) is sometimes determined by the severity of the knock knee, but u can be rest assured of a beautiful posture again. treatment would usually take between 3 to 4 months and you will stay in the clinic for this period.
    contact Dr. Victoria of Ladisten Clinic in the U.K.
    info@Ladisten.com or visit http://www.Ladisten.com for more info.
    To fast track the conversation, take photos of your legs and send it to her, describing your condition because she will request for it (photos) after you first contact her.
    Much love to you all!

    Hello im Sil, I read the first few comments to “read treatments, excercises, remedies, etc”, but read none LOL anyway I decided to scroll all the way down to share with u one simple way to fix this problem, I too have knock knees, this is my second day trying this method & have seen a minor change! Ill get to it im sure ur dying to findout! Walk backwards! I ran into a vid on you tube(chinese with subtitles) look it up if u dont believe me. If ur too lazy to look it up, take 6 small steps back(slowly) make sure foot lands flat on floor, & 4 more steps but big steps this time. Twice a day is recommended but ill def do it more than that. The vid(excersize) was intended for bowlegged, but it said for knockkneed too so I had to try it! Hope this helps.

  • Muaf Muriithi December 23, 2013, 7:01 pm

    Hi there,

    I’ve turned 30. I never had any problem with my knees till the start of this year, which I believe was cause by my rapid gain in weight. I used to play basketball back then, and walked a lot, but due to my work I spend less than an hour per day walking. I don’t exercise anymore. Next year is the beginning of a new era in my life, am getting back to the basketball court and I’ll be hitting the gym, HARD. The problem is I don’t what exercise are effective for getting rid off knocked knees. Suggestions will help. Thank you advance.

  • Danielle Vannette January 23, 2014, 4:09 am

    That looks painful!

  • Lori February 3, 2014, 12:52 am

    Hey Everyone!

    I’m in my 20s and like Ivy I had my surgery with Dr. S Robert Rozbruch in NYC at the Hospital of Special Surgery. He is an EXTREMELY talented surgeon that fixed my knock-knees. I’ve lived with the condition all my life and he was the ONLY doctor that said “ok we can fix this”. I almost cried because I know my legs were going to be straight. He has AMAZING bedside manner and I would trust him enough that I would make sure my children are seen by him in the future. Consultation is $350.00. I will not say how much I paid out of pocket because that fee is different depending on the severity of the deformity and the offer they give you. Insurance paid for most of it since, contrary to what most people on this forum said, IT IS A DEFORMITY that needs to be fixed whether it’s genetic or brought on by disease. After the surgery on both of my legs I now have sexy straight legs! Recovery was VERY hard. you have to be prepared for the highs and lows. You see the straight leg and you get excited, but then the pain makes you question if it was worth it. It obviously was because I ended up doing both legs. Now I’m wearing tights skirts dress and I love it. The scar has minimized with the help of mederma. For each leg it was a 3 month recovery. Non weight bearing on the injured leg for 6 weeks. Because my job is sedentary I was able to go back to work after 7 days. Physical therapy is tough so be prepared. At the end it was all worth it. If I was younger all I would’ve needed was a brace. Dr Rozbruch’s colleague, Dr Fragomen works with knock knee deformity in children. Mine is genetic most of my family have it and are living on pain killers because the pain is so bad living with knock knees. I am virtually pain free. I could run walk long distance exercise and lift weights. I’m sorry but the exercises mentioned by other people I’ve tried them all yoga, therapy everything and it will NOT correct the deformity. It will only somewhat alleviate the pain. If it’s the pain you need to get rid of try yoga physical therapy who specializes in knock knees and take your multivitamins. Of you want to see a physical difference surgery is the only way to go.

    I DO NOT recommend the Ladisten clinic for many reasons. It’s way more expensive (travel hotel medicine) and also if you google the clinic tons of foreigners who have went to this clinic had twisted legs and messed up feet and calves as an end result. Also as a foreigner you do not have any legal recourse should something go wrong.

    Hope you all find your happiness!

    • Brianna July 20, 2014, 4:39 am

      Gosh… This is really heartbreaking to read, especially when you said the exercises won’t work… I’m only 22, but my knock knees are emotionally debilitating to me, and also beginning to take a toll on my hips, knees, and back. My job requires me on my feet the entire time, so recovery alone would put me out of work for much too long, and at this age I need to be saving money. Not to mention the costs and the fact I’m terrified at the thought of surgery hardly makes me want to consider going under… And I wouldn’t know any reputable surgeons in my region (Florida) anyway.
      On the other hand, I’m still young and if the pain and joint grinding continues, I’ll be paying for it later… I’m so distressed, I don’t know what to do… I wish I could go back in time and tell my parents to fix it early on when we actually had money…

      Hi lori,

      I am so glad to hear that you and Ivy was able to correct this condition. I took am a suffer and often stay home because of the ankle pain , knee pain and hip pain. Sometimes i feel its even effecting the outter sides of my feet . The ache so bad from walking. I am in NYC and really am considering seeing Dr. Rozbruch my research on him has return good and bad reviews. So I am not sure as to what to think but I will formulate my own. Anyone who would help an adult correct this must have a great heart. I have saved up quite a lot of money for this surgery but it is just so hard finding someone to do it. I do have insurance but I am afraid that they will not authorize me or assist me if i should need more funding . It was great to hear that it is considered a deformity a birth defect and should be corrected as I work in the health care field i know some insurance cover birth defects. Did you find the cost to be affordable . Are they really willing to help you at any means or is it if you don’t have it bye? I just dont want to be let down. I know HSS caters to the wealthy and all though i have saved up alot of thousands I am far from wealthy but will do anything to help myself. Do you mind reaching out to me to discuss your surgery and experience . Did you have to stay long in the hospital? and how are you today any pain or problems? I don’t want to bombard you with questions just looking for insight . I look forward to hearing back from you .

    • Lettie718 November 5, 2014, 5:30 pm

      I am interested in this surgery however through my research i discovered a oesteotomy ( cutting the bone to align it straight) does not last forever . In addition the plates cause severe pain and you will end up needing a Knee replacement in 8 to 10 years. Which is the lifespan of an typical oesteotomy. Can you please inform if you are currently having any issues and how many years has it been since you had your surgery? I am hoping that I can just get a Taylor Spatial frame to wear for the 12 weeks and my effects can last forever. Praying and believing . Thank you in advance and looking forward to your response .

      • Melinda December 11, 2015, 4:26 am

        Hi Lettie 718 What’s a Taylor spatial frame? How do I get it? Will that help correct my knees?

    • Meme December 4, 2016, 11:18 pm

      Hello Lori,
      I would like to know do you have any regrets and how do you feel today. I’m researching now to find someone to do my knees now. I’m 49 yrs old and the pain is beginning to be unbearable in my ankles, hips and knees. I hope I can find some quickly to do my surgery I’m not getting any younger. hope to hear from you soon.

    I’m 17 and I have gone to therapy for my knees twice. They are knocked and constantly causing me pain. They aren’t extremely bad, just turned inward. I want to get them fixed so badly. Should I consider this as a future option? I don’t want to waste more money on therapy. I just want normal knees!!! :(

  • Steph March 10, 2014, 7:31 pm

    Hello I am 23 and have two knocked knees. My right is has caused the most issues and I cannot remember a time when I wasn’t in pain. Over a year ago my knees have locked however there is more worry with my right knee due to how bad it is. I just had an x-Ray to check for arthritis. Honestly if your knee starts hurting go to the doctors ASAP and if it doesn’t hurt don’t fix it and the knee surgery can start bringing pain.

    I’m 17 years and I am knock kneed.I need a specialist in correcting knock knees in Ghana. Pls help me.

    • Nana Boachie January 28, 2016, 1:27 pm

      I was born in Ghana with knock knee deformity inherited from my dad’s family. People used to mock at my legs when I was in Ghana and this did not deter me from leading my normal life.. I am now 38 years old living in Scotland and over there nobody cares about your appearance which is something good. I did some research about knock knee and found out that it can be treated through surgical procedure called osteotomy. Trust me or not, no amount of exercise can correct birth type of deformity. I consulted my Dr and he referred me to a specialist who examined my legs. He diagnosed me as having Knock knee deformity which was not surprise to me. However, the only way forward to treat this condition was through osteotomy. I had my surgery done on 23/12/2015 in Edinburgh, Scotland on one leg but will be operating the other leg in three months time. Bear in mind that you cannot put weight bearing on the operated leg for at least six weeks. Again, this depends on the amount of bone your surgeon wedges from your femur or tibia. I can say without hesitation that my leg has been straight and I feel no pain at all. No pain no gain. Please get in touch for more advise. nanaboakyiy@gmail.com
      Thanks

    Hi,
    I am 22 year old ex-colligiate football player and have had knock knees my whole life. I have always felt that I have never been able to squat a lot or jump high because of the mis alignment of my knees. I know have tear of Cartilage (on my femure) in my left knee and the Dr. that I am working with wants to do a Denovo Transplant. My second appionion Dr. Cooley in Utah(Did Tiger Woods’ knee) would do a knee realine and a “osteochondral allograft”. Does anyone know what I should do or the pro’s and con’s?

    Ppl with straight legs don’t knw how blessed they are. Being able to where anything without worrying “is it noticable in this or not” & having to look back to see who’s observing ur gait/”K” shaped legs like we call it in Nigeria. I try to be confident but most time ppl just stare u down!

    I am in my mid 30s in Kenya and have knocked knees, it bothered me a lot before that I never wanted to go out of the house but reached a point I don’t care anymore coz its my life. Maybe someone should form a Facebook group for knocked kneed and bowlegged people for to offer each other moral support and share our daily experiences.

  • adrian cotter April 15, 2015, 10:55 pm

    A few days ago I was working with my dad, had lunch, when I got back to work I felt a loud click in my knee, but it was always like that, but this one hurt. 2 hours later still standing on my feet, I went to the gym. Did my normal workout. Next morning, both my knees were in BITS no about a week later , I’m wearing knee supports, ( MY PARENTS THINK IM A HIPACONTRIAC ) still in pain. I THINK I HAVE KNOCKED KNEES but I’m afraid to tell my parents cause they will just mock Me, my knees are bend inwards. And for years I’m not able to bend my knees back fully, and hearing cracks all the time

My right knee is in so much pain. I don’t want an osteotomy (it only last for 8-10 years) I also don’t want to do a knee replacement. I’m seriously considering amputation. Any thoughts?

    Could you please tell me , what a knock knee means. In my case, both the knees and the ankles touch each other. But if i put a stress then i can get my knees apart as well.

    Could you please let me know if this is a case of knock knee or if any corrective measures for this, please let me know that as well

    • Dede August 28, 2015, 4:51 am

      Knocked knees is when your thighs touch but your legs from the knees down bow apart for each other!

  • LATIFAH August 15, 2015, 10:35 pm

    I have read all comments on this thread and I now feel more confident about my self. I lost my self esteem at the age of 15 when I became conscious of my knock knees a.k.a ” k-legs”.
    I missed a lot in my growing years because the k legs turned me into a hermit; to the point of being asocial. Oh! I really lost out on my youth, friends I would have made, places I would have been, heights I would have reached. All because of my low self esteem caused by knock knees
    How you feel inferior amongst your peers. You could not wear what your mates were wearing for fear of being laughed at. It affected my entire life and it is still hunting me today. At work, I can’t wear skimpy dresses or skirts like my colleagues making them look prettier even though they are not. In today’s workplace, dressing skimpy is called dressing “smart”. Hence, I am not considered “smart” in dressing
    I am 38 and married. Many times I have thought that I would have ended up with a cuter/smarter/richer guy if I did not have these stupid knock knees. I really hate them, but unlike most people here; I really love my body
    If you are still under 20-22 yes, the exercise and binding stuff can work for you. For people above 25, it’s surgery because your epiphyses have already fused
    As for me, I have resigned myself to fate, but I will ask God later why he allowed this beautiful body of mine to be dented by “knock knees” which have negatively affected the quality of my life. Smile everyone, God loves us; knock knees or not

  • dave September 11, 2015, 3:29 am

    Hi Doctor, I grew up with knock-knees. I remember being taunted by my friends and classmates for having my two knees heading inwards. this made me feel less. but as I grew,I began taking better control of my feelings and reactions. meanwhile, people still perceive me to be weak, unfit and ‘womanish’, due to the shape my knock-knees have given me. most times, I feel ashamed walking straight to someone it people who stare straight at me. I just development this inferiority complex.
    my mym has this knock-knees. It’s just that her’s like mine,do not touch each other. neither does it hurt nor prevent me from any physical activity. I Am about the strongest in my team. but,being taunted at my back has made me cry uncontrollably… in my closet.
    pls, I need a surgery. How much does it cost? are there side-effects? I Am 26years old.

    pls, I await your feedback.
    Thanks.

  • Hannah September 17, 2015, 1:03 pm

    Im 18 years old, i had Genu Valgus, otherwise known as knock-knees. I had surgery on my right knee in 2009 and my left in 2010. I can’t say in the healtiest weight, but not the unhealthiest. Recently ive been having pain in my right knee, a pressure/sore/stiff like pain, i realized it hurt after coming home from a 2 week vacation so i figured i just twisted the wrong way or what ever because i didnt recall hurting it. Well it got to the point where i couldn’t stand working, mind you i work 10 hour shifts at mcdonalds. I went to the doctor, they told me it was a sprain, gave me a brace and some mortin, a few days later i felt much better. Only to have my left knee start feeling the same way, well how odd is it to sprain both my knees without any recollection of hurting myself?
    As anyone exprienced this? Its been 6 years since my first surgery, a long knee pain free time. Ive tried braces, medicine, ice, heat, nothing works longer than when the things are applied. Its been a little over a month. Could it possibly be early arthritis? Its almost unbearable, but ive got nothing left to do.

  • anonymous September 22, 2015, 1:05 am

    I read through all the comments and now I know I am not alone in this. I need corrective surgery for my knock knees because it gives me low self esteem. The annoying part is I do not even have the money for the surgery. Right now I feel like crying. I wish I could get a surgery to correct this deformity.

  • sam November 13, 2015, 11:49 pm

    Hi every one.My name is Sam from Africa.I must say i am motivated to see all of your postings.I actually happened to come across this site after my own knock knee situation has caused me to research about it .
    I am 27 years of age and i have knock knees.I try to exercise by standing straight with my feet together and forcing the knees stand straight.But i feel the pains in my hips when i do that.I don’t know if it is making it worse or something.I think Knock knee is not fair.Compared to other people and what it does to self confidence and the ability to come out in people and try to be what you want to be without feeling people are watching you and how ugly you walk or run .I try to not let it control me though but i recently saw my girlfriend had the same kind of knees at the age or 7 though it is not so obvious to see she has knocknees now.I am worried this may cause as to have kids who may be knocknees.I am a christian and i dont want to hurt her.I feel we shouldn’t be together due to this.I don’t want my kids to feel the same low self esteem and be left to their fellow kids mocking them.I am jst wondering if it will have anything to do with our kids.I checked online and i want to gather 15000 dollars to travel to the U.S.A for a surgery .But where do i get this money and will i have to get the said amount waiting to correct that of my kids too in case ?I am in real delima.I have big ambitions for my life .I cant even wear a suit and for that reason i told my gf i dont want as to do a public wedding .But she doesnt understand why.And i keep post poning our marriage .I think i need help.kindly give me an advice if you have it.Thank you and God bless you.

  • regina December 10, 2015, 11:57 am

    I was actually born with k legs,the deformity was much on the left leg,as I grew older it gets even more worst and I was told the legs will correct itself but it never happen,the reverse was the case,the pains,shocking and sucking on is so severe that I can’t stand,bend or even walk for long,I will alwaz feel like falling,so I went to igbobi in lagos nigeria, where they conducted 2 surgeries on the left leg,and my left leg is perfectly ok nw without those unbearable pains,and is nw vry straight

    Hi guys, I was also once nock kneed,but finally I thank God for the great thing He has finally done. I happened to get a doctor who used purely ground fresh herbs, finely mixed with natural milk oil. He use to apply it around my knee followed with a thorough rubbing. I felt pain daily for a period of two months but finally I am happy that it was successful. I can stand and walk straight today

    • Shalu January 5, 2016, 6:40 pm

  • Reens February 10, 2016, 9:09 am

    Hi, I’m a 14 year old girl turnig 15 in a few months and I’m very insecure about my knock knees. I really am, I can’t smile when wearing jeans in the changing room instead I’m holding my tears. I can’t wear whatever I want without looking nice and at least like a beautiful girl with straight legs. I’m hoping I still can do the guided growth surgery if my growth plate hasn’t closed yet and if I’m still growing at least 3-5 inches. If not then I have to do osteotomy surgery where they cut your bone and screw metal plates in your bon end yes, it’s very painful and I would really not want to do that. I just wish I have straight legs that’s all.

  • Khyen Tobgay March 5, 2016, 9:22 am

    Hi iam a 19 year old boy. I play a lot of sports like basketball, football, and I am even a 100mtr sprinter. I’m physically fit, but got knock knees which I think is a disadvantage. Firstly, it makes me secure like anybody, and while playing football I get hamstring strain even after warming up. I think it’s due to the knock knee. My parents won’t be favourable about the surgery idea so could you please suggest me some exercises and tell me more about to braces to get rid of my knock knee? Please help.

    Hi, I’m 23 and I’ve had knock-knee my whole life, I’m very subconscious about it because I’ve been teased alot as a child, I want to correct it with braces….i just want to know where can I get them, how much do they cost and how long will it take for me to see the results?

    I, UMAR, ALSO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM BUT I AM GONA HELP U ALL GUYS …SIMPLY THERE ARE TWO WAYS WHICH ARE EXPERIENCED …BOTH NEED TIME ….IT DEPENDS ON U WHICH PATH U CHOOSE ….
    WAY # 1
    1) MUST GO FOR HORSE RIDING UNTILL U FEEL COMFORTABLE.
    2) TAKE A BASKETBALL OR FOOTBALL AND PLACE IT BETWEEN YOUR LEGS IN A WAY THAT IT TOUCH YOUR KNEES.
    3) BUY A KNEE SEPARATOR PILLOW AND TIE IT WHILE SLEEPING AT NIGHT
    4) DO SOME EXERCISE OF LEGS IN GYM
    guys this process is lengthy but good …
    WAY # 2
    1) TAKE A WATERCOOLER USED FOR STORING WATER …PLACE IT BETWEEN YOUR LEGS AND TIE YOUR LEGS WITH A CLOTH TIGHTLY AND TAKE A COMPLETE REST FOR A MONTH …MONTH MEANS MONTH….U CANNOT PLAY ..U CAN TAKE BREAKS BUT U SHOULD DO IT A CONTINUOUS FOR AT LEAST 1 HOUR WITHOUT DOING ANY THING ELSE…BUT REMEMBER DO AGAIN AFTER FIRST HOUR IS FINISHED AND COMPLETE 10 HOURS .U NEED TO DO IT 10 TO 12 HOURS A DAY OR IT DEPEND ON YOUR CAPACITY ……
    guys this process is just of a month but quite harder….where way 1 is might be more than 3 to 4 months …
    POINT TO REMEMBER#
    IF U REALLY WANT TO CORRECT YOUR KNEES YOU HAVE TO DO ANY OF THESE with HONESTY ! YOU WILL SEE GREAT DIFFERENCE BEFOR AND AFTER
    Thank u

    P.S.: FINALLY PLEASE DONT GO FOR SURGERY IT MIGHT CAUSE DANGEROUS EFFECT…NATURAL KNEES ARE BLESSING SO DONT REPLACE THEM EVEN…..
    BELIEVE ME IF U DO RIDING..BASKETBALL EXERCISE AND USING KNEE SEPARATOR PILLOW U WILL BE FINE

    Hi,
    I just turned 19. I have Genu Valgum in both my knees. When i join my knees there is like 1.5 inches gap between my feet. I have a lot of fat on the inside area of thighs and hardly any on the outer side and that fat never goes away no matter how much i work out. I am 85 Kgs and 5’8″ so yea i am over weight. My knees never pain at all. I do 5 miles jogging every day and 30 minutes workout and i have never experienced any pain in my knees except one time i had some pain in my shin splints.
    Should i sleep with a pillow between my legs, do normal knee separating exercises with football and do cycling?? Or go for an appointment and get a surgery?

    I have literally never ever had pain in my knees, but they look so odd because of genu valgum.

    Any help will be appreciated :) .

  • Lisa July 18, 2016, 9:22 pm

    Hi, I’m 17yrs and I’ve had knock knees all my life. I was a very happy person. The first time one of my classmates in grade 4 noticed my legs, made a joke and named me (kiss knees and walking fish) ever since that day I lost my confidence, got low-self-esteem and whenever I’m walking, people look at my legs or laugh and that takes me back to grade 4 standing in a line outside the school hall ready to enter assembly. Last year I had a knee operation due to an injury on my right knee and now it seems to be worse. Is there any suggestions on how to fix my knock knees besides surgery. I’ll do anything to get them fixed anything :(

    Hi, I’m fifteen and I’ have knock knees. I recently noticed it at homecoming when we were all taking pictures and I just couldn’t seem to put my feet together like the rest of them. I have bad knee pain but never really thought much about it and my knees give out all the time. It’s also very difficult for me to go up stairs. Exercises arent helping correct it either, any suggestions?

    Sleeping with pillow between your legs is the best exercise for correction of knocked knees. Do it for 15-20 mins daily.
    Do not lose hope

    I was involved in an car accident while trying to cross the street. A pickup truck grazed me doing about 45mph. As a result broke both of my legs. The tibia in the right leg and crushed knee and femur broke in my left leg. I am 7 months into healing and about 3 months weight bearing. I am noticeably knock-kneed and 66 yrs old. Is there any hope of correcting this?

  • Michael February 17, 2019, 3:51 pm

    Hello, I’m 30 and very active. I run, play football, gym and never been disturbed by my minor knock knees but i have one problem which is self confidence and people impression about me especially when they look at my knocked knees.

    When i was growing up, my mates used to insult and mock me because of my knocked knees. Even at this age, i still feel uncomfortable when people look at my legs. It’s killing my joy. Most times i go into my room and end up crying my eyes out.

    I have been in touch with some Doctors and they say it can be corrected.

    Please, correction through surgery does it have side effects? I have decided to save some money to undergo this surgery once and for all.

    Please i need your professional advise.
