Patient's question:
My baby is now over 11 months old and can walk. Recently, I noticed that his left knee seems to be slightly outwardly deviated, but it's not very obvious. I'm not sure if it's a case of knock knees.What kind of help do I need: An adult said that using needles to pick the tibia could help. Is that really true? Or is there any other method I could try?
Doctor's answer:
A 11-month-old child has a slightly outwardly deviated knee when walking. The child is too young for it to be noticeable, so don't let the child walk too much. Take appropriate calcium supplements and wait until the child grows older before observing more carefully. Avoid blindly stretching the leg muscles, as it can easily injure the child.The above advice is for the question, "My baby is now 11 months old and can walk, but recently I noticed that his left knee is a bit crooked. What could be the reason?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
