I have seen the picture (attachment removed to patient identity). Well, knock knees correct on its own by the age of seven years if at all it has to correct. At 10 years not possible. Now coming to your problem, generally, we treat knock knees only if it is hampering the child while playing sports, there is a history of frequent falls due to knees touching each other while running or walking. In your child, there is nothing like that. The only problem is abnormal looking walking due to deformity. Practically speaking, this will remain there until unless you get knock knees treated. The only treatment to correct knock knees is surgery. Surgery is simple and really rewarding with very rare chances of complications. In your child, there is no absolute indication of surgery but for cosmetic improvement, surgery can be done but the decision will be yours.

The pillow you are talking about is useful when the child is small say four or five years and not 10 years. Second thing, this is a very simple surgery done by every orthopedic surgeon. When I was in the hospital, we used to do it a lot. I have done many cases like this with good results.
