Limb Deformities

Correcting Limb Deformities for Improved Function and Appearance at Medace Clinic

Limb deformities can affect the bones, muscles, or joints of the arms and legs. These deformities can be present at birth (congenital) or develop over time due to various factors. At Medace Clinic, we understand the physical and emotional challenges associated with limb deformities. Our team of experienced orthopedic surgeons offers comprehensive evaluation, treatment planning, and surgical intervention to correct limb deformities and improve your function and quality of life.

Treatments

Types of Limb Deformities We Treat:

  • Bowlegs (genu valgum): Inward bowing of the legs at the knees.
  • Knock-knees (genu varum): Outward bowing of the legs at the knees.
  • Clubfoot (talipes equinovarus): A foot deformity where the ankle is turned inward and downward.
  • Leg length discrepancy: One leg being shorter than the other.
  • Angular deformities: Deformities where the bone bends at an abnormal angle.
  • 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.

I had visited Medace Clinic in Kothanur for my Tennis Elbow issue in my right hand. I was recommended for Physiotherapy treatment. I underwent this treatment for 4 days in the clinic (daily visit for treatment) and was given few exercises to be done at home post that. I got a huge relief from this treatment. The Physiotherapist was very good. She had a good knowledge and was able to get to the exact pain and provided the treatment. My pain has reduced drastically and I am able to do the daily activities without any pain now. Will be joining back to gym as well in 4 to 5 days.

We consulted Dr. Geetika throughout my wife’s pregnancy. Without question, she is a gem of a person, soft spoken and very down to earth. The best thing about her is that you can message her with the slightest doubt on WhatsApp and she is available to respond. She will take the time to listen to you and provide you with the most effective advice to address your current situation and prevent future issues. She is very very easy to talk to. Never prescribed us any unnecessary tests or medicines. She guided us in detail at every step week after week, month after month. We are so happy and proud for having done this journey with her.

Dr. Noel Kumar at Medace Clinic is an exceptional doctor who truly cares about his patients. He has been treating my todler son for the past three months, he has recovered from his femur fracture completely and I have seen a remarkable improvement in his condition. His expertise in the field is very evident in the way he diagnosed, operated and provided post operative care. Dr. Noel takes the time to explain everything in detail and answer any questions we have. He is always available to address our concerns and provide us with the best possible care. The clinic is well-equipped and staffed by friendly professionals who go above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. I would highly recommend Dr. Noel and Medace Clinic to anyone looking for quality orthopedic care.
