Knock knee or bowleg deformity of the lower leg is a condition that creates an abnormal stress on the knee, hip, and ankle. A Knock Knee surgery is performed to deal with the condition. The surgery involves the implantation of small metal devices that tether the inside part of the growth-centres around the knee, allowing the outer part to grow and straighten the knee. The right specialist to consult for the Knock Knee surgery is an Orthopaedic and Joint Replacement surgeon. The success rate for the treatment remains around 80-82%. A few possible risks after Knock Knee surgery include infection, blood clots, Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), etc.
