Knock knee
My knees touch each other on joining ankles, is this abnormal? I've to face Indian Army's medical test within 3 months. Can it be corrected? This wasn't from childhood, I've been gold medalist at racing & other track events at school but recently put up too much weight( currently 84 kg). Now, I'm striving 2 get fit.

I would need to examine u to see if the angulation is within acceptable limits. If not then a surgical correction maybe one option Dr Sandip Gupta
