Limb Deformity: Causes & Reasons

Possible Causes for Limb Deformity

The limb deformation is caused by metaphyseal lesions. [orpha.net]

Pseudoachondroplasia is usually first detected by a drop of linear growth in contrast to peers, a waddling gait or arising lower limb deformities.[2] Pseudoachondroplasia [en.wikipedia.org]

The limb deformation should be corrected surgically at the end of the growth period. [orpha.net]

Enchondromatosis

& growth disturbances resulting in angular deformities & leg length discrepancies; - limb length inequality may be of sufficient severity to require surgery; - Radiographs [wheelessonline.com]

The masses increase in size as the child grows, along with asymmetrical shortening of a limb and either genu varus or genu valgus deformities. [patient.info]

The lesions resulted in severe limb-length discrepancy and angular deformity (which increased in every patient after the time of presentation), asymmetrical premature physeal [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Thrombocytopenia-Absent Radius Syndrome

Additional lower limb deformities (severe internal rotation of the tibiae) was been encountered in one patient. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prenatal diagnosis An ultrasound scan at 12 weeks may show up the absent radii and other limb deformities. [contact.org.uk]

deformity seen in Figures A and B. [orthobullets.com]

Maffucci Syndrome

The masses increase in size as the child grows, along with asymmetrical shortening of a limb and either genu varus or genu valgus deformities. [patient.info]

Enchondromas in the metaphyseal regions of long bones may also result in deformity and limb asymmetry, as well as pathological fractures1. [jrheum.org]

deformities, short stature, or scoliosis. 1 Benign lesions have an irregular distribution but frequently appear on radiography to have well-defined boundaries. [anesthesiology.pubs.asahq.org]

Miller-Dieker Syndrome

deformities, failure to thrive, psychomotor retardation and infant death. [eyewiki.aao.org]

The other forms develop after birth and are characterized by progressive deformities of the long bones and short stature. Management. [radiologykey.com]

Involvement of musculo-skeletal system was noticed in the form of spinal, chest wall or limb deformities. [bhj.org.in]

Spinal Muscular Atrophy

There may be deformities of limbs/joints at birth from in utero hypotonia. There may be a history of reduced fetal movements in utero. [patient.info]

and lower limb vascular insufficiency or venous stasis. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Older children may have higher risk of skin breakdown, because of increased pressure of a larger body habitus, asymmetrical weight-bearing from acquired musculoskeletal deformities [emedicine.medscape.com]

Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1

There may be deformities of limbs/joints at birth from in utero hypotonia. There may be a history of reduced fetal movements in utero. [patient.info]

absence of tendon reflexes, a range of skeletal deformities and consequent breathing difficulties, as well as impaired swallowing and sucking that predisposes to growth [symptoma.com]

[…] early onset of symptoms in the first six months of life, most important being inability of infants to sit on their own and control their heads, reduced muscle tone of the limbs [symptoma.com]

Melorheostosis

It may be asymptomatic, but pain and limb deformity may occur and can be very debilitating. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Melorheostosis affects the appendicular skeleton more commonly than the axial skeleton and usually presents with lower limb deformity. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This condition is typically characterized by cortical hyperostosis and pain in the involved extremity, but can also be associated with soft-tissue masses and limb deformities [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Tibia Varum

However, in our series of patients windswept lower limb deformities were the prime clinical presentation. [smw.ch]

If we correct mechanical axis of limb by over correction of genu varum using open or close HTO, remaining deformities of lower limb are not acceptable cosmetically. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Windswept lower limb deformity was the most common angular deformity in our patients with hypophosphataemic rickets. [smw.ch]
