Stop the Damage Before It's Too Late
Living with knock knees your entire life doesn't have to mean accepting knee pain and limitations forever. Dr. Fawzy Issa specializes in adult knock knees correction surgery that stops joint damage, relieves pain, and can help you avoid future knee replacement.
If you've had knock knees since childhood, you may notice your knees are starting to hurt more during daily activities. This isn't your imagination - it's the inevitable result of decades of uneven weight distribution across your knee joints.
Correcting knock knees before severe arthritis develops can stop this progression and potentially save you from needing knee replacement surgery later in life.
Dr. Fawzy evaluates each patient individually, but surgery is typically recommended for adults when:
Pain affects daily activities or sleep, limiting your quality of life
Walking becomes difficult due to knees rubbing together during movement
Arthritis is visible on X-rays in the outer knee compartment
Normal walking, exercise, or daily activities become challenging
Pain or deformity continues to worsen over time
Preventing future knee replacement becomes important
Many patients wish they had addressed their knock knees sooner, before pain became a daily reality or to prevent problems before they start.
For most adult knock knees cases, Dr. Fawzy performs a Distal Femoral Osteotomy (DFO) - a proven procedure that realigns your thigh bone to restore normal weight distribution across your knee joint.
Standing X-rays measure your exact deformity. Computer analysis determines optimal correction angle. Custom surgical plan designed for your specific anatomy.
Incision near the end of the thigh bone (femur). Bone is carefully cut and repositioned to correct alignment. Internal plate and screws hold the correction securely. Typically 90-120 minutes in surgery.
You can bear weight right after surgery. Internal fixation provides strong support. No external frames or bulky devices needed.
Clear expectations for your recovery journey
Walking with crutches for support. Minimal pain with modern techniques. Regular wound care and follow-up appointments.
Gradually increase walking distance. Physical therapy begins. Return to office work becomes possible.
Full weight bearing without aids. Normal walking restored. Light exercise can resume safely.
Return to all activities including sports. Bone healing complete. Final alignment achieved and stable.
