Deformities are physical abnormalities that can affect the shape or structure of a body part. They can occur at birth, known as congenital deformities, or develop later in life due to injury, disease, or other factors. Common examples include cleft lip, clubfoot, and scoliosis. These conditions can vary in severity and may impact a person's function or appearance. Treatment options often include surgery, physical therapy, or the use of assistive devices. Early intervention can help improve outcomes and enhance quality of life for those affected by deformities.
