Conclusion Normally the treatment of knock knee in children include braces to help bones grow in the correct position. If a gradual correction does not occur, surgery may be recommended. In the growing child, guided-growth minimal-incision surgery may be used to encourage the leg to gradually grow straight. Doctors decided the use braces as the first line of treatment but if it will not work, surgery is recommended. We thank everyone who is supporting our activities.
