Any medical types willing to explain / speculate what’s causing this posture?

Would be hard to tell without a view from the front. Could be anything from hyper mobility, femoral retro version, tibial torsion, or mix of a few of them.

Thank you for the detailed response

Could be plain old hypermobility. My knees will bend kind of like that if I’m leaning against something and not being particularly careful to make sure I’m standing in a “normal” posture.

This looks like his knees are angled inwards (genu valgum) rather than hyperextended knees/hypermobility.
There’s another condition when knees bend backwards farther than normal, in some cases it is quite extreme.

I have a lesser similar thing, which is why I’m asking. One leg being more extreme. Foot can point out with knee pointing straight.
Was curious if it means anyrhing I should be careful of.
Should probably just ask a doctor >.>

There’s not really anything that can be done about hypermobility except avoiding high impact activity (greater risk of injury). Asking a doctor is always a good idea, but I’ve found the lack of treatment options makes doctors hesitant to diagnose it.
