Your Child's Legs Are X-Shaped? Here's How to Treat Them! - Dr. Faisal Mi'raj, Sp.OT. (K)
Have you ever noticed your child's legs are crooked or have an X-shaped shape? Don't worry, knock-knees in children under 6 years old are a normal part of growth.
Knee knock-knees in children, known as genu valgum, is a condition where the knees touch each other when standing, forming an X-shape. Generally, this condition is normal and will improve as the child grows.
However, if it occurs in children over 7 years old, knock-knees can indicate a more serious problem, such as difficulty participating in physical activities during sports. Consultation with a doctor is necessary for proper diagnosis and treatment.
In this article, Dr. Faisal Mi'raj, Sp. OT. (K) - Orthopedic Specialist Consultant in Pediatric Orthopedics, Limb Lengthening, and Reconstruction at Pondok Indah Hospital - Pondok Indah and Bintaro Jaya, explains knock-knees in children and how to treat them.
If the condition worsens, you can consult Dr. Faisal at Pondok Indah Hospital - Pondok Indah and at Pondok Indah Hospital - Bintaro Jaya.
