Do I have knock knees?
Hello. I have a question that has been bothering me for months (Googling it is only making it worse) -
My knees appear to look they are inwards. Someone said it could be knock knees. So I did everything at home to figure out-
1) My ankles can join each other completely. Both thighs join and then there is a mini gap in the region below my knees (the lower leg region)
2) I have never faced any problem while running.
3) They do not go inwards while squatting (suggested in a video)
But I am still very skeptical as I have to appear for armed forces selection. Thank you in advance for helping me.

Hello dear
Thanks for reaching out.
What seems apparent from your history is that you do not have knock knees...instead it is the opposite..which we call bow legs.
Need to see a clinical picture of your legs

Your narration says that it could not be knock knees. But without assessing in person or through video call it is difficult to confirm.
Next Steps
You need to consult a Physiotherapist or Orthopaedist in person or through video call for further evaluation and treatment.

With only symptoms we can't say it is a knock knee or bow knees. For better treatment results need better and proper correct assessment and diagnosis. So to avoid further problems and complication do online consultation with physiotherapist doctor. Because correcting knee will not solve problems need to do whole body assessment and as per your body requirements treatment protocol will be decided.
