Knock knee

In knock knees, the lower legs are at an outward angle, such that when the knees are touching, the ankles are separated. In almost all cases there is no need to be concerned. Between the ages of 3 and 8 knock knee is common. Most affected children are entirely normal. With the passage of time the legs will become straight as the child grows.
