Knee Deformity Treatment Hospital in Himatnagar
Knee deformity means the leg is not straight at the knee – bow legs (knees apart) or knock knees (knees touching, ankles apart). In adults it is usually caused by arthritis wearing one side of the knee more than the other, and it makes walking painful and unstable. At Pluto Hospital, Himatnagar, deformities are assessed with standing X-rays and corrected with robotic knee replacement or other surgery when needed.
Understanding the Condition
What Is a Knee Deformity?
In a healthy leg, the hip, knee and ankle line up straight. In arthritis, the cartilage on one side of the knee often wears faster – usually the inner side, causing bow legs. Over time the leg bends more, more load falls on the worn side, and the deformity and pain get worse together. Correcting the alignment is an important part of treatment.
Common Causes in Adults
- Osteoarthritis wearing one side of the knee
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Old fracture that healed in a bent position
- Rickets or bone problems in childhood
- Ligament damage and knee instability

Common Questions
Knee Deformity FAQs
Can bow legs be corrected in adults?
Yes. In adults with arthritis, knee replacement can straighten the leg while replacing the worn joint. Younger patients may be suitable for osteotomy.
Does robotic knee replacement help with deformity?
Yes. The robotic system helps the surgeon plan and achieve accurate alignment, which is especially useful in knees with deformity.
Will my leg look straight after surgery?
In most patients the alignment improves significantly after knee replacement. Your surgeon will explain what to expect for your knee.
Can exercises correct a knee deformity?
Exercises strengthen the muscles and reduce pain but cannot straighten a bony deformity. Surgery is needed for correction.
