Genu Valgum 15 years
by BenPen, Oct 04, 2009 04:36PM
I have a Genu Valgum, with hypermobile Ankle with a Intermollar distance of 3.1 Inches when Arch, and 4 Inches When ankles relax and fall in. I am currently doing physiotherapy. Building inner muscles of leg, and surrounding. Squats.
Will this effect hard hitting sports such as fast bowling in cricket. Which your back foot endures 4 Times body weight and Front (Weaker) Left foot 9 times? Will Athirits Arrive fast or is the degree of Knock knee small.

Generally, there is no known cure for knock knees post-childhood so you should continue your exercises and you are doing a good job.
Did you also calculate the Q angle? According to Wikipedia Q angle should be less than 18 degrees with the knee in extension and less than 8 degrees with the knee in 90 degrees of flexion and is necessary as a diagnostic test.
You should build on your strength and only try fast bowling if you can cope with it and you need a help of a sports medicine expert to rate that.
As far as arthritis any uncorrected genu valgum is prone for arthritis and that will take place with wear and tear over a period of time. It may take few decades sometimes so it is always good to try to correct it with muscle building exercises and physiotherapy.
Take care!
