Does knee valgus (knock knees) cause wear & tear damage? Should you get surgery? How should someone start to address the root causes?
In this short video, Dr. B covers why you should address your valgus knees right now and how to get started. She covers the two types of valgus knee, structural and dynamic - one you're born with, and the other develops over time and can more easily be corrected. There is a role for surgery, but get Dr. B's take on it before deciding on the extreme option.
If you leave it unaddressed, you run the risk of:
• ACL tears
• Patella-femoral problems
• Arthritis
• Lateral compartment arthritis
• Meniscus tears
• Instability
