Which are the common causes of knock knees?

Spina Bifida is a congenital condition that occurs when the spine and spinal cord are not properly formed. Many medical experts believe that environmental, nutritional, and genetic variables may all have a role in the development of this disorder, but the exact cause has yet to be determined. Other than that, Rickets is a disease that can produce soft and/or weak bones, and in certain cases, it can even restrict growth. Knocked knees are a common side effect of this skeletal abnormality. A lack in minerals like as vitamin D, which aid in bone growth, is the primary cause of rickets.

Genetic disorders known as osteochondrodysplasias are another major cause of a crooked leg. Deformities of bone growth and cartilage contribute to irregular skeleton size and shape, as well as lopsidedness of the spine and long bones help you to figure out it in detail.

Also, Osteoarthritis is another major reason for knock knees in adults. At some point, the protective cartilage on the end points of your bones begins to degrade, and this is the most prevalent kind of arthritis.
