Notice that the knees are touching, but the feet and ankles are apart.
Do your knees look like this?
The cushion cartilage that covers the ends of the bones at the knee provides a gliding surface that also acts as a shock absorber. Degenerative arthritis may occur due to injury or disease resulting in loss of this cartilage; gliding properties and the spacer. The loss of this cushion spacer results in the two bones coming closer together. Knock-knee deformity occurs when cartilage is lossed on the outer side of the knee. Subsequently, the ligaments will biologically accommodate with "shrinking" and this results in a fixed knock-knee deformity.
