The âQâ in this term stands for quadriceps, which is the large muscle group on the front of the thigh, and the âangleâ is the degree at which the femur (upper leg bone) meets the tibia (lower leg bone).

The condition is an extreme example of the Q Angle where the knees bend in at such a sharp degree that the feet cannot touch each other. âKnock kneeâ is often seen in young children who usually outgrow the condition, but it can also be acquired as a result of certain diseases, such as rickets or obesity.
