Answer 2

What Is Genu Valgum? (Knock Knees)
Genu valgum is the medical name for knock knees. Knock knees has to do with how the knee lines itself up with the hip and ankle. In a normal standing position, if someone's knees are touching, then their ankles will also touch. In a child with knock knees though, when the knees touch, the ankles are separated by a good distance. Their knees “knock” into one another.

Causes of Genu Valgum?
Most children by the age of 2 or 3 years are knock-kneed to some extent. It is a normal part of the way the bones develop. The condition can last until the age of 5 or 6 and then the legs begin to straighten as they should.

In some rare cases, knock knees are just a symptom of another medical condition such as disturbances in growth, rickets, or trauma. In these cases, surgery may be needed to correct the problem.

Symptoms of Genu Valgum?
There is no pain associated with knock knees. The most obvious symptom can be seen when the child stands. If the knees touch and the ankles do not, then knock knees is the likely cause.

Treatment of Genu Valgum?
If your child has knock knees, treatment is often not needed. Your doctor may measure the length of the leg bones and the degree to which the ankles are separated. In 99% of the cases, the condition gets better by itself. But, surgery may be considered if the condition extends into adolescence and if the separation between the ankles is 3 inches or more. The correction is less traumatic if done before growth ceases.

Answer 3

Yes it could. Having knocked-knees which is medically known as an increased Q angle could place increased stress not only on the feet but the knees, hips and back as well. Larger Q-angles are more common in woman because of the wider hips which is required for giving birth. If however this angle is excessive it can in some cases cause problems. If you have weak hips, like many individuals do, this can make the problem even worse. You may want to follow-up with your family physician and ask for a referral to physical therapist who would be able to address any mechanical issues that may exist and also address any weaknesses that could be compounding the problem.

Answer 4

It's possible, because everything is connected to everything else. Check with a doctor, your knees may be throwing off your gait and causing your feet to hurt. I have one leg shorter than the other, which affects my gait, my feet, my knees and my hips.

Good luck to you.
