What is the typical recovery time after knock knees (X-legs) correction, and how does it vary between non-surgical and surgical treatments? When can normal walking, daily activities, and exercise be resumed after correction? Does recovery take longer if neurological or muscle-related factors are involved, and what kind of rehabilitation is usually required?
It really depends on whether it’s surgical or non-surgical. With braces or physiotherapy, improvement is gradual and you can usually keep up with normal activities, just avoiding anything too intense. Surgery is different walking is possible in a few weeks, but full recovery and exercise can take a few months. I had a cousin who got surgery, and she was walking fine in about a month, but her muscles were super weak, so she needed a few months of physio to feel normal again.
