I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Windswept knees refer to the appearance of a bilateral knee joint deformity where one knee is in valgus and the other is in varus. The name describes the position of the knees if the wind blew across the legs of a patient, causing this evocatively-named appearance. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
