Knock Knee Surgery: Symptoms, Classification, Diagnosis & Recovery

Knock-knee surgery corrects the inward angling of the knees, improving leg alignment and joint function. The primary goal is to alleviate discomfort, prevent joint damage, and restore a natural walking posture.

The surgery usually involves an osteotomy, where the bone is cut and repositioned to align the knees correctly. Depending on the case, either minimally invasive techniques or traditional open surgery may be used. Soft tissues around the knee are sometimes adjusted to support better alignment.

Recovery includes using crutches for a few weeks and following a tailored physiotherapy plan. This helps strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and speed up the return to normal activities.

In most cases, patients experience better leg alignment, reduced pain, and a significantly improved quality of life after rehabilitation.
