Orthopedic Deformities
Orthopedic deformities refer to abnormalities in the shape or alignment of bones and joints. These conditions can affect various parts of the body, including the spine, limbs, and pelvis. Common examples include scoliosis, where the spine curves sideways, and clubfoot, a condition where a baby's foot is twisted out of shape.
These deformities can result from genetic factors, developmental issues, or injuries. Treatment options vary depending on the severity and type of deformity and may include bracing, physical therapy, or surgical intervention to improve function and appearance.
