Kindly share weight bearing x-rays films of both knee.(scanogram preferred) This condition is called genu valgum, if it exceeded a specific value, surgery may be indicated where one side of growth plate must be fused to prevent overgrowth. Site depends on whether problem is in distal femur or proximal tibia.
Next Steps
Share x-rays and clinical picture.
Health Tips
Bracing also helps limit the valgus growth.. minor valgus corrects itself with time.
