Congenital Deformities

Congenital deformities are physical abnormalities present at birth, affecting the structure of bones, muscles, joints, or limbs. These deformities occur during fetal development and can vary in severity. Common types include clubfoot, hip dysplasia, limb-length discrepancies, and conditions affecting the spine or skull. Congenital deformities may lead to functional limitations, discomfort, or hindered growth if untreated, impacting a child’s overall development and mobility.

Early diagnosis and intervention are essential for managing these conditions. Treatment options often involve physical therapy, corrective braces, or surgical intervention, depending on the severity and type of deformity. By addressing these issues early, medical professionals can help children achieve improved functionality, better quality of life, and greater independence as they grow.
