DISCUSSING KNEE MALALIGNMENT WITH DR. GIRLING

Knee malalignment occurs when the angle of your knee is not as straight as expected. In a perfectly aligned knee, weight is distributed evenly across the knee joint. This malalignment can happen for many reasons. In some instances, an individual is born with the condition or can develop it due to trauma. It can, also, develop over time as a result of arthritis or a previous surgery.
