Thank for your advised I will see and orthopedician as soon as possible. To find the best procedure for me.

Hello!
Pathologic genu valgum warrants aggressive treatment to alleviate symptoms and prevent progression. Bracing and therapy are inadequate to meet these goals. You would need surgical correction and it is not possible arthroscopically.
Talk with an orthopedician specialised in Ilizarov's techniques and discuss all pros and cons before taking any decision.
Take care!
