Knock knee
Hi, I feel that my son has knock knees. On internet, they say that the angle will be corrected itself by the time he is 7 or 8. He is 5 years 3 months old. Is there anything to worry about. He doesn't feel any pain. I noticed it when I saw him running in a peculiar way. his growth is good. His height is better as compared to other kids of same age. Pls suggest.

Most of the appearance will correct by the time your child is 7/8 years. If he is walking/running normally then there is no cause for concern.
If by the time your child is 8 years the abnormality has not corrected then an Orthopaedic opinion is advised.
