Pediatric Limb Deformities

Pediatric limb deformities refer to abnormalities in the shape or alignment of a child's arms or legs. These can occur at birth (congenital) or develop as the child grows. Common issues include bow legs, clubfoot, and limb length discrepancies. Treatment may involve bracing, physical therapy, or surgery, depending on the severity and effect on the child's mobility. Early diagnosis and intervention are important to support normal development and function. Parents should consult with pediatric specialists for tailored approaches to managing these conditions effectively.
