Deformity correction is a specialized orthopedic treatment aimed at correcting abnormal alignment of bones or joints that can affect movement, posture, and overall quality of life. Deformities may be present from birth or develop later due to injury, infection, arthritis, or growth disturbances. With modern orthopedic techniques, many deformities can be corrected safely and effectively.
Under the expert care of Dr. Dnyaneshwar, a highly experienced Orthopaedic Surgeon in Bangalore, deformity correction focuses on restoring normal alignment, improving function, and relieving pain through individualized treatment plans.
Deformity correction may be recommended for:
Bow legs (genu varum) or knock knees (genu valgum)
Limb length discrepancy
Post-traumatic deformities after fractures
Malunited or non-united fractures
Joint deformities due to arthritis
Spinal deformities affecting posture and balance
Rotational deformities of limbs
Early evaluation helps prevent progression and secondary joint damage.
Common causes and risk factors include:
Congenital or developmental conditions
Improperly healed fractures
Growth plate injuries in childhood
Chronic infections affecting bone
Arthritis and joint degeneration
Neuromuscular conditions
Understanding the cause is essential for effective correction.
