Congenital Musculoskeletal Disorders

Congenital musculoskeletal disorders are conditions present at birth that affect the bones, muscles, and connective tissues. These disorders can result in abnormalities such as missing limbs, spinal deformities, or joint issues that may affect movement and posture. They occur due to genetic factors, environmental influences during pregnancy, or a combination of both. Treatment often involves physical therapy, surgery, or assistive devices to improve mobility and function. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial to helping individuals manage these conditions effectively and enhance their quality of life.
