Surgical Treatment
Correct severe angular deformity, restore proper knee alignment, and improve long-term joint health and function.
- Guided growth surgery (epiphysiodesis) in children with significant growth remaining, where a small plate or screw is used to temporarily slow growth on one side of the knee.
- Corrective osteotomy, a procedure involving cutting and realigning the bone, typically in older children or adults, to restore proper knee alignment.
- Surgical intervention to address underlying conditions such as bone infections (osteomyelitis), tumors, or severe arthritis that may be causing the knock knees.
