Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Genu valgum or knock-knees is a condition where the knees angle in towards each other, causing the Q-angle to increase. The Q-angle is the angle formed between the quadriceps muscle and the patellar tendon and is influenced by the alignment and angles of various bones in the leg. An increased Q-angle can lead to patellofemoral pain syndrome and other knee problems. Narrow pelvis, medially rotated pelvis, and femoral retroversion do not directly affect the Q-angle.
