Hello All,
Suggestions needed for a 7 y.o. female with significant valgus at both knees, with additional unknown etiology and accompanying ligamentous laxity. She can be corrected to neutral, but everything I've seen and heard about knock knees is either leave it alone and they out-grow it, get used to it, have surgery, but little info on bracing. Looking into a possible KAFO, or unloader type design, provide a good base of support and hope things straighten and tighten up. Anyone have better luck with one thing or another?
Thanks!
