What is malalignment syndrome?

Also known as: miserable malalignment syndrome, knee malalignment syndrome

When the bones, muscles and tendons that make up a joint become misaligned due to an injury or other causes, this can lead to malalignment syndrome. This occurs commonly in the knees but can also impact other areas of the body.
