Congenital deficiencies: Partial or complete absence of a limb or bone.

Causes of Limb Deformities:

Limb deformities can arise due to various factors, including:

Congenital conditions: Certain genetic factors can cause limb deformities to be present at birth.
Growth plate problems: Issues with the growth plates in bones can lead to deformities as the child grows.
Childhood diseases: Conditions like rickets or infections can affect bone development and cause deformities.
Injuries: Fractures that heal improperly can result in deformities.

Signs and Symptoms of Limb Deformities:

Symptoms of limb deformities can vary depending on the type and severity. Here are some common indicators:

Visible deformity: The most obvious sign is a noticeable abnormality in the appearance of the limb.
Pain: Deformities can cause pain, especially in the joints affected by the misalignment.
Limiting movement: Limited range of motion or difficulty walking, running, or bending the limb.
Gait abnormalities: An abnormal walking pattern may develop to compensate for the deformity.

Treatment Options for Limb Deformities at Medace Clinic:

The treatment approach for limb deformities depends on the specific case. Here are some common options:

Observation: For mild deformities, especially in young children, observation may be recommended to monitor growth and determine if intervention is necessary.
Bracing: Braces can help gradually correct mild deformities or maintain alignment after surgery.
Physical therapy: Exercises can help improve flexibility, strength, and range of motion in the affected limb.
Surgery: In many cases, surgery is the most effective way to correct a limb deformity. Our surgeons utilize advanced techniques for minimal scarring and faster recovery.
