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 >.>

Spitefire@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoCould 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.

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.

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.
