Knock knees can often by normal( physiological) at 4 years of age. In most cases it should become normal by 7-8 years of age. However a clinical examination should be done to look for other signs of rickets (vitamin D deficiency). If no other signs of rickets is there in the body only observation would work. If signs of rickets (vitamin d deficiency) is there in the body blood work up has to be done.
Next Steps
Observe to see if the deformity resolves on it’s own by 7 years of age. If it doesn’t visit an orthopaedic surgeon to see the magnitude of deformity and manage accordingly.
Health Tips
If other signs of rickets (vitamin d3 deficiency) present in the body -Get a baseline serum calcium, ALP and Phosphate done. Get a baseline vitamin D3 levels done along with a kidney function tests.
