Can knock knees be corrected naturally at age 28 or is surgery the only option? I'm worried about long-term effects if left untreated and wondering if exercises or braces might help
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Sometimes, if knock knees cause problems such as pain or difficulty walking, you may be referred to a specialist for tests to see what might be causing it. Rarely, surgery to straighten the knees and legs may be recommended.

My left elbow was fractured when I was a kid but didn't heal properly, so now my arm isn't straight. If I get surgery to fix it, will it look and feel natural? Is surgery a good long-term solution for this?
Yes, surgery can be a good long-term solution for a malunion (incorrectly healed) elbow fracture. The goal is to realign the bone and improve function. While surgery can significantly improve the look and feel of your elbow, it's unlikely to be completely natural, and some limitations in range of motion or strength are possible

Can bow legs be fixed naturally at my age of 24 without going through surgery I've had them since I was young and wondering if exercises or other non-surgical options might help
At 24, naturally correcting bowlegs (genu varum) without surgery is unlikely, as bone structure is typically fully formed by this age. Exercise and stretching can improve muscle strength and flexibility, but they won't change the bone shape. Surgical correction, like an osteotomy, is usually necessary to reshape the bones
