We can't measure exactly the degrees from a small picture but generally speaking the alignment seems very good.

The alignment for what concern the bones is very good. If you have another pic that shows the hip too is easy to evaluate the symmetry too. One tibia looks very slightly longer but it could be due to foot bones/posture not seen in this xr, but nothing to worry about. By the way for what I see these limbs look great, you’re probably more symmetrical than the general Population.

Lookin' good.  Even that right fibula I'm thinking will straighten out as it gets more consolidated.
