Limb Deformity: Causes & Reasons

Possible Causes for Limb Deformity

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

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

Management and treatment Treatment is based on physiotherapy, management of the spinal deformation and corrective orthopedic surgery. [orpha.net]
