Question

I've had knock knees for about 4 years now and I'm 18 - what's the best way to fix this? Do I need to do special exercises, wear braces, or is surgery my only option? It's been bothering me for a while and I'm not sure what to do about it

Mild cases of knock knees can improve with physiotherapy or braces. Severe or persistent cases at 18 may need corrective osteotomy surgery.
